ORIGINAL POSTER

Has anyone recently visited the Thai Consulate in Penang to fetch their ED Visa?

I would like to know if they have changed the required criminal record check document in any way?

There is a school suggesting to me that they might have updated their requirements for this doc that may now need fingerprints etc?  And this type of doc must be done at the police station. 

Will they accept the same type of check they always have, or is there some new rule now?
