Hi, soon I will visit my home country to change my present dependent visa (O) to employment category (B). I have been here in Thailand since July 2017. 

My concern is PCC, am I suppose to obtain 1 from Thailand local city police station or should I need from it from my local police station in my home country? VFS Thailand website doesn't say much about it. 

Thanks in advance !

If you are gett ing your non-B in your home country then the police clearance should be from your home country.

IF you were going to a 3rd country (like Laos) then the Thai one is usually adequate OR a home country one that is less than 1 year old.

It can't hurt to get one from the police special branch BEFORE you go back. I mean it would be so bad if you got back there, needed it and didn't have it.

I would get it just to be safe
