What documents are required for a police clearance when extending a Non-O visa in Thailand?

Question

Hey this year I am doing my marriage extension on my Non-O, I am Iranian I read on the website some countries require background clearance from police before doing extension, we did this last year I thought it's only once and now we moved to Bangkok, is that normal and what docs i need to take to police? I found this using ChatGPT:

* **Valid Passport**
– Original + photocopy of the information page and latest visa page.
* **Thai Visa**
– Current visa stamp in passport (copy the page).
* **Letter from Embassy or Immigration**
– A letter requesting a police clearance (e.g., for visa extension or background check).
* **Work Permit (if applicable)**
– If employed in Thailand, bring a copy of your work permit.
* **Marriage Certificate (if applying under marriage visa)**
– Original + copy (translated into Thai or English and certified if not in either).
* **Spouse's Thai ID Card and House Registration (if applicable)**
– If you are married to a Thai citizen.
* **Photos**
– Two (2) passport-sized photos (1 inch or 2 inches accepted).
* **Fingerprint Card (optional if applying in person)**
– Can be taken at the Police Clearance Center directly.

An expat, originally from Iran, is inquiring about the documentation required for obtaining a police clearance to extend their Non-O visa while living in Bangkok. They are unsure if this is a repeat process, recalling that they completed it last year. They list the necessary documents for the police clearance, including a valid passport, current visa stamp, and marriage certificate, amongst others. Comments suggest that certain nationalities need this clearance and recommend checking specific requirements based on their immigration office.

Please contact me directly if you need. I did it last year and am preparing to do the same in August for another year. Everything depends on your concerned immigration office based on your address in Bangkok. Better you check go to the concerned immigration office, collect the check list and clarification.
