Thai Police check without work permit

[puffin1981]

I was offered a new job in the Middle East and the local HR is requesting a police check from the country I last worked/lived in. Would the Thai police issue this without an existing work permit, I am staying in Thailand on a Multiple entry tourist visa.

Should be no problem.

Both the above links do work. Home page of police clearance center is here. http://www.pcscenter.sb.police.go.th/eng/

You can find the info you need there. You can get one with any type of visa or entry. You will need a letter from your employer requesting the check.

For the passport certification, is that done at my embassy or at Chaeng Wattana?

Certification of the copies in this case means signing and dating them.

The letter from your employer replaces that. That is only needed if you are applying for a visa and the embassy or consulate requests it.

Thank you guys for the info so much, and sorry about my late reaction. One more quick question, Right Now I am in Chiang Mai, Can it be done here or do I need to go down to Bangkok?

[TEFLKrabi]

I believe it can only be done in Bangkok. FYI, I went in on 19/10 and was told to come back at the end of November. I asked about an express service and for B2500 it was ready on 25/10. Worth the money to get back to worth much quicker. I found all the staff really really helpful, even before the money was mentioned!
