teetersb Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Hi everyone. I have been told by my current school that there is a new law requiring all foreign teachers, living in Thailand, they must have a police report from the Thai police, not your home country, every year now to get their Type B Visa! Has anyone else heard this from their school? We are being forced to go do it, or they say we can't get a Visa! What's up with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonray Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 This is not new. If you are new to Thailand police check from home country used. But if you live here longer than that local police report needed. It's no big deal, go to your local police station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally it is just done once (I've been here so long and have not changed, schools, so I have not had to do it). I've heard nothing official about this.

tonray Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 He said to get Type B Visa...if he is applying for a new Visa then he needs it. If just an extension for same school, likely not. He is not very clear on why he is getting new Visa for same school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teetersb Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Sorry, I forgot how specific many of you need this to be. I have been here at the same school for 8 years and this is a new requirement at "my school". I did my report a few years ago and now they are saying ALL teachers in Thailand must do yearly Police reports to renew their "B" Visa. Could be something to do with the recent 'crackdown'. Don't know, don't care! My question is "Do any of the Visa Extension teachers here have to get a new police check every year at their school?'

You cannot renew a non-b visa you can only get a new one at an embassy or consulate. There is no requirement to get a new police report to apply for a new one year extension of stay based on teaching at an immigration office. Perhaps that is something the school wants now not immigration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that is something the school wants now not immigration. Every immigration chief is king in his particular office. They don't all have the same requirements for visa extensions. This is LOS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quandow Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I thought a police report was good for 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The have been reported as being a problematic office so anything is possible there. Certainly not a nationwide requirement. 6 minutes ago, teetersb said: What about renewing(extending) a Work Permit?
