Will a Florida background check suffice for an OA visa, and can my wife obtain one with an expiring passport?

Yes, we realize that.

Thanks for the info, we've got everything pretty much covered. The passport question was the most pressing. The cost to renew passport is going to be 3 times normal price to do early, reason for question. Unless the requirements have changed, we can use our US bank account for the OA visa application.

We got two separate background checks from FL. Just didn't use them because of the 2020 Samut Sakhon & then this April's covid restrictions that were enacted. Didn't see much of a reason to come if everything closed. So, never sent them to the Embassy.

Thanks for the replies. OK, But, she could get stamped in until the expiry date. Then, if she renews passport in Bangkok, then can go to immigration and have date extended, without having to leave country?

I was a bit confused on the "Bureau of Investigation only" bit. Florida does not have a State Bureau of Investigation.

Just so I'm understanding - The Embassy requires fingerprints? I know the NC SBI required fingerprints to run a background check. I do not see anything on the Thai Embassy site about including a fingerprint card. (as of yet, still looking)

It's been a while since our last visa - covid kept us here. Are you saying the "Florida Dept of Law Enforcement" background check will not be accepted by the Thai DC Embassy? Sorry for all the questions, but so much has changed.

Thanks, didn't know if it would go on the Green card date, or her Passport date... Sent email to Embassy, no reply yet. If we go and renew her passport in Thailand, then would have to go to Immigration for a new date stamp, or would have to leave country?
