Paperwork Notarised By Consular Mission

[chicowoodduck]

I currently reside in N. California and I am going through the paperwork for a Retirement "O-A" visa. I see that one of the requirements (see verbage below) is that some of the paperwork (medical, criminal, banking) needs to be notarised. How does one go about getting that done through a US consulates office and how would they know if the paperwork is fact or fiction?

FYI - The nearest Royal Consulate of Thailand Embassy to me in located in Los Angeles so my paperwork would go by the US mail.

- A letter of verification issued from the country of his or her nationality or residence stating that the applicant has no criminal record (verification shall be valid for not more than three months and should be notarised by notary organs or the applicant’s diplomatic or consular mission). - A medical certificate issued from the country where the application is submitted, showing no prohibitive diseases as indicated in the Ministerial Regulation No.14 (B.E. 2535) (certificate shall be valid for not more than three months and should be notarised by notary organs or the applicant’s diplomatic or consular mission).

Here is what I used ;

Police Check: letter from local police station stating "no wants or warrants" price: Free"

Medical Certificat: downloaded Thai medical form and VA doctor signed off on it: price: Free

For being notarised all I did was type a certified to be true on the bottom of each page and signed my own name. Each area is differant so what worked for me may not work for you ....Good Luck

If you get the police check ,medical and bank statements signed and stamped by the relevent partys that is good enough in the uk

Wow, talk about a quick return for an answer. It's all appreciated! Just to be on the "safe side," I had each party (doctor, police, bank) stamp and sign each document, than I put a handwritten note by me on the bottom of each that certified that it was a true original copy, and than I had a notary stamp and sign all documents. Over kill? I'm not sure after spending an afternoon reading through all the threads and horror stories by both young and old. I'll keep you posted about the outcome.
