ORIGINAL POSTER
Has any, as a non-Thai national, recently applied for a Thai Police Certificate from the Special Branch Bureau in Bangkok? The document requirements on their website say "certified passport copies". Can I kindly check if this mean: certified by ourselves by signing on each page of the copies, or, certified by an external professional/lawyer? Thanks!

Curious 🧐... if you already have a DTV Visa, AND there's NO requirement for a Police clearance , Why are you needing to get one???
