In looking at that paper
Also look at the price for an extension of stay 3K baht versus the real price of 1900. That's the "special island price" if I'm not mistaken :(

got from the school I wonder why they list the price of an ED visa in KL as 3K baht (unless it's the ringgit conversion that throws the price off).Also look at the price for an extension of stay 3K baht versus the real price of 1900. That's the "special island price" if I'm not mistaken :(

300 myr could be nearly 3K thb, depends on the exchange rate... Right now about 2500 thb, but a few years back it was almost 3300 thb.

It has been a requirement for a good while now at the private schools in the south (from about Hua Hin down and all the islands if I recall) that the Ministry of Education wants criminal background checks before they issue the paperwork so a student can go out of the country and get the ED visa from a consulate.

Thanks for this information.

The only way to do it if you can not reach the website, I can without problems, is to visit the pcs center in Bangkok. I don't understand: "I need something online sent to me asap and it cost a lot", as everybody else you follow the procedures and pay the fee of 100 Thb.

OPokay but the school wants it, and asks everyone who applies for it. My question wasn't about if I need it or not... it was where do I get one

Vientiane does not require a criminal record for ED, only for South African the MOE request it.

As you can see, no criminal record and bank statement needed for a 9 month language course.

OPThey gave me this and the email written at the top I was supposed to email for the criminal record but it doesn't exist...
Robert *******
Agree, I answered the question based on given information. But now it turns out different due to new information. I will ask questions before I just give an answer. Or hoping that the person ask a question with all relevant information.

@Robert ******
, we should ask people to reveal all info once they make the post, now I understand that Emily applied in a school on Koh Phangan, which require other things that the schools in Central Thailand.

I did ED visa and no need for criminal record...
Robert *******
Schools teach people, they don't hand out a visa. You get those at Immigration with documentation of the school or at Thai Consulate or Embassy.

OPthe school told me all I need is passport, bank statement and a criminal record check to apply. I'm applying at a school a few mins from me in koh phangan doing a 9 month thai language course...

@Emily *******
: So now the question is: What kind of course are you going to follow and where do you want to apply for the ED visa?Robert *******
@Amornrat *********
: Depends in KL on which program you want to follow, but is seems it must be from home country: 7. Certified criminal record in the applicant’s country of origin (for applicant enrolling in a degree program only)Amornrat **********
I was not ware that for ED visa or extensions a criminal record are required from UK citizen?

OPI mean for the other way to do it is for a company back home send it to me which is £40 about 1750 baht. I'll find a way though but ive tried the website on different servers, phones, laptops and same thing happens error 404
Emily ********
OPIve tried everything and the website isn't working for me... is there another way to do it? theres a few websites I can do but takes 2 weeks and costs a lot and its posted to me. I need something online sent to me asap
