Bonzie Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 In the Bangkok Post letters section yesterday, there was a letter from a guy who had difficulty in getting a Non-B from a Thai consulate in the region. He had the WP3 and relevant paperwork, but was told he needed a letter of clean conduct from the Royal Thai Police to say that he isn't a terrorist or a paedophille. He stated this was a new law/policy that came into effect last wednesday. Can Sunbelt or anyone shed some light on this ? I am Due to go to Singapore early January to get a Non-B, with all correct paperwork and the WP3 and don't want to be in the same position.

monty Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 AFAIK this is only required for people coming to work as a teacher! Started off right after the highly publicized Karr case... Don't think it applies for any other profession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonzie Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 So, as I am not applying for a WP as a teacher ( I am an Engineer). Am I to assume that this letter of conduct does not apply to me? Confirmation would be welcomed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 That’s the general assumption. Sunbelt is on vacation – Lopburi, I believe, mentioned it – until January 7 or thereabouts. -- Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Believe Sunbelt said he would be back January 8th but suspect he will have an inbox the size of Everest so it may take a while for him to catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 It's safe to say that this entire report is highly doubtful. Nobody has heard of such a requirement, among foreigners who teach in Thailand. It's been discussed among them, but not issued as a mandate by the ministries of Foreign Affairs, Labour, Education, or Interior. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Bonzie Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 Thanks , hopefully I should be ok . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotgeekus Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I figured that to be safe, I had employer (very well known company in Bangkok, so helps) state who I am, my salary and benifits, which I will take with me for my girlfriends new tourist visa. As stated by many, it always helps to dress and show utmost respect. Also, any evidence to show that you are upstanding, normal and spend money while here is appreciated by the government. Anyway, good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kudroz Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I guess the best way to find out would be to call the embassy in Singapore and ask them specifically this question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbelt Asia Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Believe Sunbelt said he would be back January 8th but suspect he will have an inbox the size of Everest so it may take a while for him to catch up. In fact, I will be back around the 10th. The good news the mailbox is being answered Monday to Friday have five dedicated staff that are doing that. Missed Thaivisa.com, as I'm now going to have a couple days near a computer, I can help answer some Thaivisa posts. No letter of clean conduct needed to get a visa for non-teachers. www.sunbeltasiagroup.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
