How do I apply for a Thai police clearance after living there for over two years to obtain an Australian visa?

If you have spent 12 months or more in another country, yes Australia will ask for police report, been like that forever

Go to the police clearance centre, they are used to dealing with foreigners, there are written guides in English, the staff are very friendly and helpful, there is a print shop nearby for the inevitable paperwork. It takes about 2 weeks and you can collect it or have it posted.

again a question that 200 people will answer and 200 different opinions. Is not helping you.

With all questions about visa... visa offices but better immigration or embassy

Deslea Selmes nonsense, first time I did this was when I was 15 through the mail and a money order with no internet. Probably much easier now

Just leave irrelevant things blank! Sheesh

Yes, I’ve had to do it for a US visa. The office you are looking for is at the police centre at Wireless Rd. There’s a building there where you’ll go to apply and they ask you for which country. They’ll take your fingerprints and you give them the required forms and and the fee - best to be in Thailand for this (will take 2-3 weeks to arrive at your Thai address. See here for the necessary forms / passport copy details etc - - I’ve had to do police checks for both visa and work reasons (these are separate offices)- can be overwhelming but it’s very doable. Feel free to message if you need more details.

I am seeing so many comments about using an agent to do some of the simplest things I think these posts are probably by people associated with agents so do you own checking before spending your money on an agent. An agent might be needed but for a lot of posts I've seen it's not

Yes

I know people who have done it. Yes just go to the police clearance center and they'll assist you. It can be in English

My advice would be to visit an immigration centre. And asked them to apply for your visa. It can be a lot of hassle .

What Visa are you applying for ?

I would suggest hiring an agent to get this for you. Thai systems don‘t cope well with situations that don’t fit forms and procedures. That doesn’t mean it can’t be done, but a fixer will know who to get your request in front of to make it happen.
