lopburi3 Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 If you apply for the long stay extension here in Thailand you do not need any police report. If you plan to obtain an O-A type visa for retirement in the USA you will require a police report from your local police department to provide to the Thai Consulate.

New Petchburi Pete Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 It may well depend upon the Consulate you are dealing with. I obtained it (cost me extra due to the vast extent of the contents!); however, the Thai Consulate in New York never asked for it! ... for extensions over here, it was also never asked for (thank the Good Lord). :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickfarang Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 1. lopburi3 is correct (per my experience; things change). Apply in Bangkok and you won't need one. 2. When investigating applying for a retirement visa from the U.S., I called the police station in the city I lived in and she said "Oh, you need a from XYZ, come on over and we'll get you one." I suspect the people at your local police station have heard this kind of question before and will know what to give you. By the way, I am not clear on whether there is any benefit to applying for the class "O" visa outside Thailand over just coming to Bangkok on a Tourist visa. AFIK, you can just come here and cut your costs and hassles (the medical exam, etc is probably less expensive here. It was for me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 If a police report is needed, get it at the local police station. They generally only check their local database. (like why should they bother to do an extensive search - criminals do not ask for police reports). If you do get a police report - I never saw one that was certified and I can not imagine one being certified (take that for what you can). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Just got my clearance de Gendarmes yesterday. The Thai office I'm applying thru had the address etc. The clerk cave me a form, I paid 10 USD and it will be in my Mail Box in 3 days. Non Imm O ret is very easy to get. Next will be my Thai DL which is also easy. Get an Intl Permit and with your home DL having both officially scribed into thai you'll need only a eye test. Tha little bugger works almost as good as a Thai ID card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
