TLDR : Answer Summary

If you're flying to Penang to obtain an ED Visa for studying Thai in Thailand, the main documents needed will be provided by your school. For the police check, you should contact the police in your home country to obtain a document clearing you of any criminal offenses. This process is straightforward if you have no legal issues.

The documents needed are the documents provided by your school. Nothing to be confused of, you contact the police in your home country and if you did nothing against the law, you get a document from them without any criminal offenses.

And the print out was from the website of the Thai Embassy in Kuala Lumper, but thanks for extra mentioning that a bank statement is now needed.

I just did my Ed visa in Penang and my school said they provided me with everything I needed. I then checked the things needed on the Penang immigration website and printed off a copy in case they tried to say different. It turns out they were wrong and I needed a bank statement with 20k bht. Lucky I had been in this group as I heard this before so had it ready. When I showed them the checklist which I printed they didn't care and said no bank statement no visa. If I was to give you any advice it would be to take everything you can because they ask for whatever they think on the day. So police report and bank statement. Hope this helps.

you could get the title most wanted criminal of the world in more than 2 years. i guess a little recent report would make more sense. Bu that is my guess, let your school contact them to make sure.

Should I apply for a Thai ED visa before traveling or can I do it after entering on a tourist visa?
