Looking at the OA visa,applying from the UK. I have a question about the 'certificate of criminal record clearance '. I can get a DBS check that costs £21.50, or an ACRO certificate which costs £68. Is the DBS sufficient or do I need to go all in with the ACRO?

Thanks.

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!

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?

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
