teadome Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Hey folks, I accepted a job in Bangkok and the agency is asking me to get an enhanced DBS. I had a basic DBS for my job in Vietnam, and got a police clearance for a teaching job in Taiwan. I have searched online and have no idea how to get an enhanced DBS as an individual. Is this a new requirement in Thailand? Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I believe an individual cannot obtain it and it should be requested/filed by the school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madgee Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 What is an Enhanced DBS Check? An Enhanced DBS check is the highest level of criminal record check carried out by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). This level of DBS Check is only available to organisations that need to make 'recruitment or suitability decisions'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did too, many years ago. I had to wait 1 week, or I could have had it in a couple of hours as a special case. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluespunk Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Increasingly becoming a basic requirement for most reputable international schools. I’ve had to get in done for each of my last two jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
