The worst case scenario is that you'll perhaps rent somewhere for a month.

The important is to settle everything you need to whilst your here.

Here's some homework for you :-

ACPO = Association of Chief Police Officers (http://www.acpo.police.uk/)
ACRO = ACPO Criminal Records Office (http://www.acro.police.uk/home.aspx)
PC = Police Certificate (also sometimes PCC which is a Police Clearance Certificate)(http://www.acro.police.uk/police_certificates.aspx)
thanks Peter, these links are much more informative than the basic disclosure i was looking at,

it looks like i will need to contact phil embassy, first to confirm if they accept acpo and acro,
i read also at acro they say the certificate is normaly valid by embassies for 6 months, so i can make a start on the application maybe this weekend,a couple of misdemeanors in my youth but think should be ok,

one other thing , when printing an application form which is the right way, print both sides of paper? or single sheets ?
