I have a question: I'm fly to Laos to get my education visa. I'm getting through the muay thai gym that I train at. I was looking in the embassy website to make sure I had all the paperwork that I need and I saw something about bringing a criminal background check....
I asked the people at the muay thai school about this and the person I've been work with to get the visa and they all said they've never heard of having to bring one in order to get the visa. Does anyone know if that's something I'd need to get?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The requirement for a criminal background check when applying for an education visa to Thailand appears to depend on the type of institution from which you are obtaining your visa. According to comments from other users, a background check is only necessary if you are applying for a visa through a public or private university, which may not apply in your case if you are getting your visa through a muay thai gym.
