ORIGINAL POSTER

Non-B visa for teacher (university, not K-12) - which Thai consulates abroad do *not* require a police certificate? Most SE Asian consulates I have researched do, but I might have missed some?

Asking because police clearance in Thailand takes 30 working days (same in my home country of the Netherlands) and I'd need it sooner than that.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The inquiry focuses on identifying Thai consulates abroad that do not require a police certificate for a Non-B visa for individuals teaching at a university. The post mentions challenges with obtaining the police clearance in a timely manner, as it can take up to 30 working days in both Thailand and the individual's home country, the Netherlands. Comments suggest options to expedite the process in Thailand and mention specific consulates, Vientiane and Savannakhet, which reportedly do not require the police clearance for university teachers.

I applied for a police clearance in Chiang Mai and had it within two weeks.

You can pay and get a police clearance from the Special Branch in Bangkok a LOT faster than 30 days.

I don't believe that Vientiane OR Savannakhet require a police clearance for someone teaching in a university program (not K-12). I would have your university call some nearby consulates and ask for you.
