How to obtain a Police Clearance Letter


Recommended Posts

Good day everybody;
Would anybody have a current report on:
How to obtain a Police Clearance Letter for foreign nationals in Bangkok?
After living in Thailand as a guest for many years, i am thinking of visiting a western country for a longer period;
to obtain a visa for that country a Police Clearance Letter is required.
The website psccenter.sb.police.go.th is unfortunately a bit confusing.
Which documents exactly are required?
There is a fee of 100 Baht, is there an additional fee for postal services?
Thank you very much!

Thank you both very much for the quick replies!
@UbonJoe:
infomation-service-4.pdf mentions to bring:
Document(s) certify that the applicant is working, used to work, or
residing in Thailand.
As i do not work, it therefore should be a residence certificate?
Where would one get such a thing?

That out-source agent says on her website:
6.The original fingerprint 2 set (Taken by The Thai police PCC at Bangkok by our contact only because in case of you stay in Thailand now you need to take fingerprint by Thai police PCC in Bangkok only ,they will not accept the fingerprint from the local police in Thailand.
So it seems that one has to go to Bangkok anyhow, the only advantage that agent has is speed in delivery.
She does not give any quote on her fee on her website either. I might give her a call...

You can get an affirmation of residence from your embassy,

similar to what you need for driving license.

Or for free from Thai immigration. You need proof of residence, in my case of rented room, rental contract and three consecutive bills

I thought there was still a fee. The Embassies are extortionate.
Also I remember seeing that there would be a long time in waiting to get the certificate. When I looked it was quite a long time ago when i as looking at getting a yellow house book. Maybe it has changed / improved
I'm sure its going to be covered in other posts, but if you have gone through the process it may help Monkol if you briefly say what key steps you took and how long thanks.

Info is here in this PDF. http://pcscenter.sb.police.go.th/filedownload/infomation-service-4.pdf

You will need to do the application in person and then provide a postage paid envelope to have it mailed back to you..

 

You can apply by mail using an agent. Click this button on their homepage for info.image.png.f9e6d82e89d2a8e8c3e0e4bc775a80b5.png

What's the agent's name/ website or contact details?

The Resident Certificate is not free at every immigration office. 2-300 baht is quite normal, even more if you want the certificate at once.
