This is where you need to go in Bangkok , building 7 I think....I can check as I went there last week.

They will only provide a clearance if you have a contract for the job you are going to. Take a copy of it. You also need to photocopy every page of your passport that has a stamp on it. They can send you the certificate in the post for 160THB or you can go back and collect it for 100THB. Its taking about 2.5weeks to process at the moment.

You have to provide some additional info when you get there, but its pretty straight forward. I can't remember what time the office opens, but get there before 15.30 as it shuts around 16.30ish...I was there around 45mins last week

I have severe nut and sesame allergies and have been lucky to only have 2 incidents in the 8 years I've lived here (hoping I haven't jinxed myself now).

My own rule is that if it looks suspicious l don't eat it. If just peanuts, you should be ok to avoid....make yourself aware of thai foods which contain them as an ingredient and double check that anything sprinkled on top is garlic, not peanuts!

If in doubt, over exaggerate your allergy.....'no peanuts, I die' usually works well for me!

Maybe a bit ott, but I am usually aware of where the nearest hospital is whereever I am.....just in case!!

thank you for the info. I was hoping it wouldn't mean a trip down to Rayong, so good to know it can be done here 😊

@Sam ******

I don't think they are allowed to attend Thai schools unless they are a Thai national.

There are some Mum and Baby type classes that you can go to, usually take children to 3yrs old and pay by the session. Search for the BAMBI group and ask there 😊

@Jonathan ******

that's what I was thinking too. Thanks 😊
