TLDR : Answer Summary

A South African expat is inquiring about the need for a recent police clearance from Thai authorities when applying for a NON B visa. Responses indicate that a police clearance from the home country is sufficient, and a Thai police clearance is not needed unless the individual has been working in Thailand for six months or more. The original clearance must be less than six months old.
