Police check

Featured Replies

Hi folks. Yet another question.

One of The requirement for the OA Visa is a police check. I work with children and have a DBS please check does anybody know if it is the same as they require for the Visa and I can use that instead or do I still have to go through the process of getting a new police check?

Where are you located ? What the Thai consulates are interested in is a clear criminal background history that usually has to be somewhat current ( within 3 months). In the US, it cost me about $40 US and took 3 days. No big deal

I'm in uk. The DBS was issued on 7th February. Just a few days too old!

As the OP is discussing a visa for Thailand, not from Thailand, I'll move the thread to the correct forum.

What in the world is a DBS? I know it's a bank in Singapore.

Haha in the uk a DBS is a police background check that you need to work in certain jobs. Mine is a few days too old to be used but I've realised I couldn't use it either way. I'm very impatient and don't read things properly. [emoji6]

Stands for Disclosure and Barring Service.  Someone no doubt got paid for coming up with that, replaces Criminal Records Bureau.

You should check consulate rules...maybe it is still valid depends on their rules.
