ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone! 😊 Has anyone here ever applied for a Thai Police Clearance Certificate while living overseas? I’ve relocated from Thailand and I’m now applying for my iQTS, and I need to get this document. I read that you can either do it yourself or have an authorized representative help you with the process. I saw that using an authorized representative would cost at least 16,000 THB . Does anyone know of a cheaper service or another way to do it? And if I do choose to do it myself, will it be successful?

Any tips, experiences, or recommended services would be *so* appreciated! Thank you!

Did it myself, required two visits in person to the police HQ near Siam Paragon. Carry your passport and copies of it.

They are very helpful.

I think i paid 100baht
