TLDR : Answer Summary

To obtain a police clearance in Bangkok, you do not need the TM30 or a certificate of residency. Required documents include a copy of your passport with all visa pages, including previous passports if relevant, and a fingerprint. This can be processed at either a police clearance center or your local police station, along with an application form.
