Answer summary
When applying for a Non O-A visa from the UK, you need a police certificate for criminal record clearance. It is recommended to obtain the certificate from ACRO rather than a Basic DBS check, as only the certificate from ACRO is considered valid for this visa application. The conversation also touches on alternative visa options like the Non O visa based on retirement, which does not require a police report.

Why are you going for an O A. Get a Non O visa based on Retirement and then when In Thailand open a bank account ASAP and deposit 800k baht to get the yearly extension of stay based on retirement at immigration 1,900 baht. Or if not have the 800k, then get an agent to do it for about 12,500 to 15,000 baht. A non O requires no police report, no health check no insurance

I didn't know a police check was part of non-oa

That’s a bummer I’ve just paid for the basic one 😔

I think I’ve seen it’s the country where you have remained for the 6 months before the application, so for you it will be UK and it’s Acro you need.

It has to be from ACRO
