Certificate of no criminal conviction

[alfread]

what if you have a criminal record from overseas but not in hong kong? would the hk police force able to issue the no criminal conviction due to the fact that the conviction was not done in hong kong?

You have to produce to a conviction record for each country you have lived in. Hong Kong certificate would only be valid for your time in Hong Kong.

but the guy had been already deported back and are unable to return to ask for the conviction record, so what can he do?

often third party companies can used used to make their own searches of court records. I had to get police checks from the UK, Singapore, Australia and Hong Kong. Singapore claims to only do searches for their own citizens but relents and you have to ask for an exemption (and you receive the certificate). For HK the letter has to be sent out by the immigration department or police station doing the fingerprints and the reply goes straight back to the immigration department.

One possible way around in your case could be by signing a statutory declaration or potentially offering to pay for a 3rd company to do a search on behalf of your new employer.
