Criminal Record Statement for Visa

PostAuthor: Aircraftdoc » December 11, 2007, 6:53 am

I have a question regarding my initial Retirement Visa. Where did you go to get the clean criminal record statement? Local law enforcement?

Just tell 'em you need a "clearence letter". Normaly cost around 5 bucks.

I was wondering about that. Seems kinda foolish since it comes from another country and the form my agency uses looks like it came from a grade school author and printed on an old mimigraph machine. ( Kinda funny, mine says that I have no criminal background and the next form shows that I have retired from the same agency :lol: )

If you are applying for the retirement visa there in CA, it's most likely the local law enforcement agency. Check with the Thai Consulate there as to where they want the check to be coming from.

Ray,

You will probably never need to provide a printout of your criminal statement here. It is only requested by the Thai embassy when applying for the Non-Immigrant O-A (retirement visa) in your home country.

When applying for the Non-Immigrant O visa, no criminal statement is required. With the Non-Im O, once you have been in Thailand for 90 days, you can apply for the one year retirement extension at Thai Immigration where no criminal statement is required.

With the Non-Im O-A, you are allowed to live in Thailand for one year (as opposed to 90 days) before applying for a one year extension.

Ya at the time I applied I needed a Thai bank account something I couldnlt get in the states at the time simply beacuase I couldn't find a branch to sit up an acccount, Hind sight being 20/20 I know there are branches of differnt banks in the states now. But I didn't then and the Thai emabassy in LA woudln't give me the information.

So I went to Lao and applied in that manner, had the lettter still do as a matter of act, but ono one wanted it. :lol It was really funny th Sheriff's department that I retired from efused to issue the lettre so I went to small department, they ran a CII check for me and the chief issued the letter.

I have no idea if you can still do what I did or not but it was easy and got to explore Vientene.

The other thing I found interesting was Lao issued me a non immigrant B, Nong Khai changed it to a O type.

LA Thai Consulate

PostAuthor: threelegcowboy » December 13, 2007, 5:30 pm

LA is the worst of anywhere. Try the Dallas office as it does not matter what state your from. Can be done by mail etc. You will be surprised by how few hoops to jump through.

Amazing!
Fantastic service. I have been trying to contact the LA Consulate for several days now with negative results.
I emailed the Dallas COnsulate this morning and within 5 minutes they responded.
Difference between the two;
LA- 4 copies of everything
Dallas- 2
LA- do not respond to calls/emails
Dallas- right away and very pleasant

Reason? Is there a large Thai community in Dallas?
Not like Thai Town in LA?

My anxeity is dwindling now.

I cannot thank you enough. [-o<
