ukrules Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 It looks like you need a government stamp of approval to get almost any job in the UK these days. This Big Brother 'creep' as I'd call it is now extending it's way into ever increasing aspects of the workplace in the UK. First it was introduced to stop sex offenders working with children, you now need full background checks to become a janitor in a office building. All of this legislation has of course been introduced by the previous Labour government during their long term in office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it also looks like the result of an internet search. Have you actually tried this? Let us know how it goes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoldgit Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I did it earlier this year for someone, and whilst I did it in person I'm aware that a number of people have done it by mail. It is a simple procedure, but as it involves having fingerprints taken, it's far easier if you do it in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millwall_fan Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Curt1591, as is becoming fairly apparent, is a bit of a demagogue who has 'gone troppo'. Yes the Thai police issue such letters/certificates. If you are resident in Thailand its a fairly straightforward if time-consuming procedure (I applied for mine last week). you just go to building 25 at Pattumwan Police HQ with a letter from the school, a Thai speaker (part of the form has to be filled in in Thai) and 100 Baht as your friend is presumably resident abroad it gets quite complicated. Google 'Thai Police clearance' and click on the American embassy's website or try bangkok.usembassy.gov/root/pdfs/thaipoliceapr09.pdf . The only bit that's incorrect is the bit that says the service is free - it now costs 100 Baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt1591 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I have been cynical and sarcastic all my life. I have hardly 'gone troppo'. I have, however, had plenty of experience dealing with the administrative workings of different Thai government agencies. "Frustrating' would be an understatement. Dealing with almost anything 'administrative', in Thailand, is rarely straight forward. In most cases, it will involve being passed, from one agency, to another, often winding up back where you started. "Oh; you mean you want me to do it ?!" Possibly, in the case of the Police Clearance Service Center, Special Branch, Royal Thai Police, someone gets it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaiLai Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 This is also possible on a 30 day tourist stamp as well FYI, my friend did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will sign and stamp anything if the price is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
