What are the requirements for obtaining a criminal background check for a retirement visa in Thailand from Ohio, USA?

Try non o then retirement visa in Thailand

Go to Fedex/Kinkos. They have a machine and results come back same day from FBI

Here is where you start the process:

In California I got fingerprinted at one of the main post offices in my area and that was electronically submitted to the FBI. My criminal report was generated immediately electronically and emailed to me and I also got a hard copy in the mail a few days later. Also, before going to the main post office to do the fingerprinting you need to do an online application with the FBI first. The FBI charged $18 for the application and the post office charged $50 for the fingerprint scan. And not all post offices do fingerprinting so when you apply for your application on the FBI's website it will give you a list of the ones that do it in your area. The easiest way to do this is have your fingerprints done through USPS. Then you upload the FBI document online when you apply for your visa.

The UPS stores also do fingerprinting but I think it only generates a hard copy card and you have to mail it in. So it's a little more complicated not doing this through the USPS.

You must be finger printed and it must be state or federal FBI..

PM me if you need more info.

I just finished doing it

Yes you need a fingerprint card

Go to the

Criminal Justice Information Services

You will need to send your fingerprints to them they will send the report

Also you need proof of income.

If using SSA you can print from their webpage.

I'd google background check Ohio and see what comes up.

You're applying at the thai consulate in Chicago or New York?
