Singapore police clearance for Australia 189 visa
Hi All,
Need your help. I have a question that is worrying me since last few months. I was staying in Singapore for around 7 years and have moved to Australia last year in April. I had a credit card debt of 7k Singapore dollars which I did not bother to pay. The bank didn't have my new contact details hence they couldn't contact me. Except an email that I got few weeks back asking for my contact details. Now I am applying for a permanent visa in Australia and they need police clearance from all the countries I have stayed in the last 10 years including Singapore. Do you think that this credit card default will affect the police clearance? Would the bank have filed a police complaint and will this result in a criminal offence?
