Okay, so here's my monthly update! My medicals were passed today (yay!) and I was granted a 60 day extension for my FBI PCC (double yay!)
However, I have also been asked to provide a Thailand Police Clearance now (boooooo!) And by golly, if you thought the FBI PCC was a pain, this takes it to a whole 'nother level! Unclear forms, a tough fingerprinting process, strangely sized passport photos and the need to send money without any sort of receipt or link to your application.
Just wondered if anybody has had to do a Thai Police Check and if so, here are my questions:
1) Where did you get your fingerprinting done? It says on the document list that you need to get it completed and stamped at either the Thai Embassy or at a Police Station. Problem being, the embassy here in Toronto states on their website that they do not provide this service and the police do not either. The only way I know is to get it done by a fingerprinting service (like the FBI). Any help?!
2) On the second page of the fingerprinting form, there is a document that LOOKS LIKE it should be filled out by an official but it doesn't claim that to be the case, any ideas?!
3) It says that you have to send 100 baht to have the application completed and gives the bank details to send it to, but how do they know that it is meant for your application?!
4) How do you send a return envelope with stamps when they have to send it FROM Thailand to here? Don't they have to be Thai stamps?!
Thank you all in advance and here's to hoping that the next update you get is my completed timeline!
