I'm due to renew my 1year visa and have lost my TM 30 . Please advise what to do? Do they even need it?

I have a question regarding the Kakaesque nightmare that is applying for a police clearance check in Thailand from abroad.

I've got two sets of fingerprints made, and filled out the forms except the Testimony Memorandum where it says 'I testify that .... '

Anyone have any clue what it is I'm supposed to testify? That I haven't committed any crimes? That the fingerprints I've had made are mine? I can find no guidance anywhere about this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, what documents do I need for a criminal record check in Thailand at the Police Scientific Crime Detection Division for the teaching visa and work permit? Thanks!

Question about the Police Clearance Centre near Siam BTS - Are these things sufficient to get the police check done and is there a cost if you go to the service centre in BKK?

1. Passport and Copy of Passport

2. Letter from Teaching Registration Board stating that I need the check

3. 2 recent 1"x 2" photos

Has anyone recently visited the Thai Consulate in Penang to fetch their ED Visa?

I would like to know if they have changed the required criminal record check document in any way?

There is a school suggesting to me that they might have updated their requirements for this doc that may now need fingerprints etc? And this type of doc must be done at the police station.

Will they accept the same type of check they always have, or is there some new rule now?

Is it true that getting a non-immigrant OA retirement Visa does NOT require $ to be in a Thai bank?

Hey everyone,

My wife and I are traveling at the moment outside our home countries and would like to apply for the Non-B teaching visa (Russian national) and Non-O visas (South African) from Kuala Lumpur in August.

I have a couple of questions I hope could be answered here:

1. Do we need our original academic degrees or only certified copies would do? If we have a Bachelor’s and Master’s, but only have the original of Bachelor’s - can we avoid showing the Master’s?

2. How long does visa processing take in KL, Malaysia?

3. The criminal record check is issued by country of origin embassy in a third country - is this acceptable?

Any help and advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Clint

I note for a non-immigrant O-A visa application, evidence of no criminal record is required from your county of residence, but it appears is less clear if this is also needed for a non-O type application (which is what I will be doing).

If it still necessary (and that would seem logical), what is the easiest way of downloading a non-O type application form, as to obtain a Certificate of Clearance from the police in Singapore where I currently live, one of their requirements is documentation to show the need for such a report to be produced.

Thanks

Hi thanks for the add, I plan to retire to Chumphon and live together with my Thai gf, I've asked questions to visa agencies and Thai embassy but cannot seem to get concise answers, maybe you can help.

Poss easiest way is 90 visa, get bank a/c, begin transferring funds then extension for a year prior to application for O-A visa?

Application from UK reqs criminal check, proof of funds etc, does Thai embassy require these come from specific agencies and does Thai Embassy require the same certificates when applications are made in Thailand?

I hope I am not being too anal about this, but I'm an engineer, I like to know the nut & bolt of everything if I can.😊

Ok. So I’m here on my 1 year non-o retirement visa, which will expire in a few months, two documents that I see are “required” are criminal record and $3 million insurance policy. Are these actually required for a renewal. I know last year when I converted my tourist visa to a retirement visa here in country, I didn’t have to have them. I know all my terminology may not be correct, but you what I mean about what is required for renewal. Thanks in advance
