Do I need a Thai police check for a Non-OA visa renewal or will an Australian police check suffice?

ORIGINAL POSTER

I have looked to see if this question is answered elsewhere on this site.  Forgive me if I've missed it.  I am on a Non-OA obtained last March from the Royal Thai Embassy in Canberra.  My current stamp allows me to stay until January 2021.  However, I am going back to Aus for 3 weeks at the end of April and plan to apply for a new visa then.  One of the requirements is the provision of a police check.  What I am wondering is if a new police check from Australia will suffice or if I need to get a Thai police check.  If it's the latter, can someone give me an idea of how to get one.  I am in Chiang Rai.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is looking for clarification on whether an Australian police check will be accepted when applying for a new Non-OA visa, or if a Thai police check is required. Comments suggest that an Australian police report is most likely sufficient, and they recommend contacting the Australian Thai Consulate for additional guidance.

Its totally your call as far as IF you get a re-entry permit BEFORE you fly out which will keep this current entry stamp valid and get you stamped in until Jan 2021 when you return

OR

If you just stamp out and buy a totally NEW Non-O-A when you're back in your country.

I think their O-A expires THIS march, and they only have an entry stamp letting them stay until 2021..

Most likely a police report from Australia.

And...

Possibly the AU Thai Consulate might accept a Thai Medical Certificate..easy to obtain here in Thailand....ask them.

Will save you time and $$ if they do.
