ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, currently teaching in England but moving to a school in Thailand in August. I am applying for a Non Immigrant B visa but I'm not sure which Criminal Check I need to provide to the Embassy as supporting Documentation. As an individual I cannot get an Enhanced DBS, just a Basic DBS or  a Standard DBS. Will one of those be okay or do I need to get an ICPC from ACRO instead? Advice will be much appreciated. Thanks

In the UK, the Basic DBS or Standard DBS checks are options, but it is unclear if they meet the requirements for the visa. Alternatively, the ICPC from ACRO might be needed. Seeking advice on the most suitable criminal check to provide with the visa application.
