Hello Everyone,

Thanks to the admin for accepting my request! 😊

I'm currently in Chiang Mai on an Ed+ visa and need to apply for a visa to another country. They require a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC). Could someone guide me on where to go in Chiang Mai to get a PCC? What are the steps I need to follow?

Thanks in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary
To obtain a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) in Thailand while on an Ed+ visa in Chiang Mai, you will likely need to travel to the Police Headquarters located in Bangkok. This is necessary as the PCC process involves fingerprinting and photographing, which cannot be done remotely or through agents. Ensure you are prepared for the journey and check if there are any specific requirements or documents you need to bring.

Brandon you are correct. Bangkok is where the office is located. I doubt they can use an agent as they have to finger print you and take a picture at the office. I just did it for my wife about a month ago.

I'm 99% certain the only place you can get that is the Police Headquarters in Bangkok. You might be able to use an agent to get it for you.
