Is there an extra surcharge for utilizing digital live-scan fingerprinting at the Pathumwan Criminal Records Division?
Here is how our Police Clearance desk handles it: We handle end-to-end Police Clearance Certificate issuance from the Royal Thai Police for foreigners in Thailand and abroad, for submission to the destination immigration authority or embassy. Workflow: (1) verify source documents — passport / Thai ID / status proof, (2) schedule fingerprinting at our office or a district police station, (3) our Runner files at RTP HQ, (4) collect the certificate and bundle certified translation + MFA/embassy legalisation in a single dispatch. Tell us the visa subclass and receiving country — we bundle Police Clearance + certified translation + MFA/embassy legalisation in a single run.
