ORIGINAL POSTER

This is more an "away from Thailand visa" advice ... I need a police check for potential new jobs. How to get one without a letter of request from a specific employer? My current school won't give me one, because then the letter goes direct to the school, so ...?? Police website info contradicts my experience last year when I did it for visa renewal, so I don't know what's up there.
