oldsoulchild Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 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?

tonray Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsoulchild Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 I'm in uk. The DBS was issued on 7th February. Just a few days too old! Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldgit Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 As the OP is discussing a visa for Thailand, not from Thailand, I'll move the thread to the correct forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvdf Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 What in the world is a DBS? I know it's a bank in Singapore. People posting here assuming all readers are from their country! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsoulchild Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 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.
