youreavinalaff Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Has anyone attempted to get an overseas police check from Thai police whilst living outside of Thailand, for a teaching job overseas? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Joe Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Link for Police Clearance Service Center: https://pcscenter.sbpolice.go.th/en It can all be done via mail. I had a friend who needed a police clearance for every country she had lived or worked in for the last few years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 The trouble with that service posted is that many countries will require such documents to be apostilled and as Thailand is not in that treaty, then often officially translated and officialized at the embassy of the country you need it for. So to do that you would need to do in Thailand and there is usually (typically six month) a timeline where such documents retain validity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaitom Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 https://www.thaipolicecertificate.org/ This one also offers authentication services for the documents. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first link doesn't do that. I'm sure expensive but cheaper than flying back to Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see that on the website. In fact it says that they can't "Authentication and legalization (apostille); Thailand is not participating in the Apostille Convention (The Hague), therefore, all Thai-issued documents cannot be apostille. If you intend to use Thai documents in some countries, you may need to have your document authenticated and legalized by the embassy of that country in Thailand." Edit: I just double checked and it does say they they offer "authentication - legalization or apostille services". It also states that they have an office in Canada and that may only apply to non-Thai documents authenticated in Canada.
