spread198 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I am applying for a long stay(1 year) visa to Thailand, its states that a criminal records clearance certificate is required is this a DBS certificate or do I require a certificate from the English police force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 OP, seems that you are applying for a Non O-A visa? Applying in the UK. That visa requires insurance. You could consider a Multi entry Non O based on retirement. That visa is also valid for 12 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritTim Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 For a Non O-A (long stay) visa, a basic DBS report should be sufficient. As suggested above, there are some drawbacks to the Non O-A visa. If you intend to stay in Thailand long term, a Non O (retirement) with extensions or LTR-WP (Long Term Resident Wealthy Pensioner) visa might be better. If visiting often, but spending significant time outside Thailand, a multiple entry Non O (retirement) visa, valid for 90-day stays on each entry might be a good fit. It is possible for the Non O-A visa to be best, but for most people it is not. I suggest you try to familiarise yourself with the alternative options I mention above, and decide what ultimately will work best for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They now issue them, both to visit your Thai spouse and, under unclear circumstances, also retirement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
