Not exactly a Visa question but something Visa related folks may have run into. I need to get a significant number of fingerprints done. (16 total). I had 2 sets done at the Police clearing center, but they seemed unhappy about the idea of doing the remainder I needed. I really do need to get them done sooner than trying to go for two months in a row weekly or something. Are there any private places? Or places in nearby countries anyone could suggest

Answer summary

The question addresses the need for obtaining several sets of fingerprints for legal or immigration purposes in Thailand, specifically after finding difficulties at the police clearing center. The user seeks private options for fingerprinting or recommendations in nearby countries. Comments suggest contacting various specialized fingerprinting services in Bangkok, including locations like Thailand Fingerprints, Thailand Visa & Immigration Services, and Expat Services Thailand, among others, which provide assistance for U.S. background checks. Additional advice includes offering to pay for services to expedite the process.

Did you offer to pay for them to do them as this has been known to facilitate or speed up processes.

yeah I may do that. Go back there and ask them if I could pay a fee for their trouble. It is an enormous hassle for them, and I would be happy to come back on whatever schedule they were OK with rather than attempting to do mass numbers in one day.

@Dennis ********

sadly they will just provide you with cards, but they do not actually do fingerprinting.

I would try reaching out to a DoJ or FBI representative at the embassy and plead your case to see if you could get some assistance.

I really have no idea about this one. I can’t comprehend why you’d need 16 sets of fingerprints (most people only have 10).

Perhaps you could explain why and others who may have had to go through the process could help.

@Stuart ********

it’s not actually for a Visa. It’s for medical licensing in United States. But I figure other people may have had to get fingerprints for various other reasons and may know other places to get them done. I also assume you were joking, but I need 16 separate fingerprint cards done (2 each for 8 different state medical boards))

I was obviously being facetious about most people only having 10 fingers but really couldn’t comprehend why you’d need 16 sets.

Perhaps others who have had the same issue can advise.

I doubt anyone else actually has the same issue, but just hoping anyone has found anywhere even in surrounding countries to go get fingerprinting done. There is a place in Japan, but unfortunately they were fully booked when I was there.
