Ronniec, Im supposed to have a visit from the police later, I know him so Ill ask for you if he comes. 10k seems alot! Ive had them done for myself in Ireland many times and it doesnt cost a penny but I know here it will cost something, 10k just seems ting tong to me.

The police clearance certificate is given free of charge, see attached . However my friendly neighbourhood BIB tells me it may take 10k if it needs cleaning . :-" http://pcscenter.sb.police.go.th/eservice.php

Trubrit, just got a malicious website warning from that link! Im using windows so probably the same problem that was discussed a couple days ago about another site. Anyways looks like you may have helped the op more than he knows! However Ill still ask if i see the policeman today Ronniec.

[jackspratt]

It may be obvious to you Dermot - but pray tell, is the site linked above by trubrit ie http://pcscenter.sb.police.go.th/eservice.php

the same as the site linked in the "previous thread" you mention ie I presume, http://www.tanadorn.com/?

My wife recently obtained hers in Bangkok.. About 3000 if memory serves( Slip Slip)

can open , no warnings here...tanadorn not healthy...
long time ago in bangkok free also , i think maybe TGF need some money?, not meaning to offend..only thinking logic..

Before I paid that fee for any reason,I would ask the GF for the name of the BIB,saying that I was to make more enquiries.
Are you confident that this is not a ploy for money by her or that she is comfortable investigating by talking to other BIB's about it?
For NK,where I live ,it doesn't seem kosher,unless,as Trubrit pointed out,there is some ''cleaning up to do''.

ronnie,
if nongkhai police do idiot go ask in udon , i think there is no need to go all the way to bangkok, in my case we just happen to be there.., i also think any main police station can give you this one ( even they must consult or leave it send by bangkok) , and it still is free, ( but even if you have to shuffle 500-1.000 bath under the table to ease the pain,it is thai style, ok , but not 10.000...)
good luck

Trekkertony is spot on with his information. We recently went through the process in Bangkok.

I would like to add though that the certificate is ready to be picked up at the Police Clearance Service Center in Bangkok. I asked if it could be mailed to us here in Udonthani. It was and I believe that it cost 40 or perhaps 100 Baht.

[bigsnake]

Sound like someone is out to RID YOU of Bt10,000, this Clearance should be given FREE of Charge, providing the TGF has a clean RECORD, if she doesn't, it could cost even more<>HINT>BRIBE, if this is the case you SHOULD BE Leer of taking this TGF to your Homeland.

We had TWs done in Bangkok, one for 2 year Temp Residency a another 2 years later for her Permanent Residency. Technically free but on each occasion it was 'hinted' we could get it quicker for 500 Baht. On the latter my 500 Baht disappeared out the door whilst TW was being finger printed and a short time later the girl came back with lunch which both TW and I were invited to participate in, 555555. Anyway, on both occasions it was posted to us, EMS, within a week.

[Bandung_Dero]

BTW, the Aust embassy requires the certificate be addressed to them only. See attachment

thanks for that info.
i was not aware that she would need one for the temp visa and then another one for the permanent visa after two years, aspecially when you have to submit both visas at the same time as each other.
