Hi All,
A police clearance certificate is required to apply for NON-O visa (retirement). I am in Chiangmai and prefer not to go to Bangkok for this if possible.
I called a lawyer and he asked 25000 THB for this service, it sounds a bit too much.
Can anyone please recommend a service or a well priced lawyer who can do it for me ?
Thanks in advance
TLDR : Answer Summary
A police clearance certificate is required to apply for a NON-O visa in Thailand. Residents in Chiang Mai can apply for this certificate at the RTP headquarters instead of traveling to Bangkok; it costs around 100 THB and takes approximately two weeks. Many expats share tips on doing it themselves or seeking cost-effective advising services. Recent discussions indicate that a police clearance is necessary primarily for retirement options, while other NON-O categories may have different requirements. Always check latest guidelines and consult directly with the relevant authorities.
