What impact will my NDPS 27(b) case have on PCC and visa?

I was charged under NDPS Section 27(b) for smoking weed. I paid the necessary fine and the case has been disposed. Will this be mentioned in my Police Clearance Certificate (PCC)? Will it affect my work visa process for New Zealand?

If you were charged under NDPS Section 27(b), paid the fine, and the case was disposed, it might appear on your Police Clearance Certificate (PCC), depending on local police records. For a New Zealand work visa, you must declare the offence honestly. A minor, one-time drug offence with no jail time typically doesn't disqualify you but may require a character explanation.  For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
