How do I arrange a Thai police clearance certificate for an applicant who changed their name for a Canadian visa, and how long does it take?
Issued by the Royal Thai Police (RTP)
Accepted by DoHA, USCIS, IRCC, UKVI and INZ, so Issued by the Royal Thai Police (RTP). It is the only Thai criminal-record document recognised by DoHA (Australia), USCIS (USA), IRCC (Canada), UKVI (UK), New Zealand INZ, Schengen states and the Thai MFA for visa, PR, employment, marriage and migration. That backing means the certificate we deliver is accepted for submission to the destination immigration authority or embassy across every visa subclass, PR pathway, work permit, marriage/divorce filing, professional assessment and worldwide migration route. Bundle it with NAATI translation + MFA legalisation in one visit so visa and Skills Assessment documents are handled together.
