ORIGINAL POSTER
For work permit / work visa

1) Is it possible to get a background check in Thailand for the work permit / visa? Or will I need to get one from my home state / country? (I haven't been there for over a year)

2) Has anyone had difficulties getting a permit / visa due to a beard? My work says they don't accept photos with beards, but I have applied for visa extensions and work visa in other countries with a beard and no one has said anything. I also found nothing online saying that you need to not have a beard.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired about obtaining a background check in Thailand for a work permit and the relevance of having a beard for visa application photos. It seems that background checks can be facilitated in Thailand, and there's no specific guideline mentioned regarding restrictions on a beard in visa photos, despite the user's workplace policy.
