Nvere heard of that service being available in Asia. I guess you are going to have to do more research yourself or start with the postal applications.


I think you are right.  I sent an email to UPS corporate in BKK....  UPS often offers Live Scan at USA locations...  

Will know on Monday if the option exists...

Otherwise back and forth snail mail...

Cheers,

In some states, local police stations do live scans and yes, those are submitted to a database which does the state background check. But there are some police stations where they only run local background checks, so please be aware. From my understanding State and Nationwide Background checks are acceptable by most agencies. Many teaching agencies are requiring background checks and apostilles on degrees. My friend got a live scan (electronic fingerprint) background check in California and then the CRC (criminal record check) apostille, but that was for South Korea. He lives in Costa Mesa, California.

We have had teachers submit the state background check and it has been accepted. At least I believe it's the state background check. The person went into the local police department and got it.


Thanks for all the good info here...  

Mine is a slightly different question...  

Is Live Scan Service -- to check with USA database criminal background check -- available in Thailand or a nearby country in Asia?  

Need to do for a job application in the USA...   Otherwise need to FedEx or UPS fingerprint cards back and forth across the Pacific Ocean...  

Suggestions?  

Many thanks!

In Topic: Renew Non Imm B In Bangkok?

He says the work permit has been applied for so a receipt should be available.  But do not believe it is normally required for teachers in any case if they have school paperwork for the visa application.  In this case a non immigrant B visa would be what he wants but work permit could be issued on others if conditions warrant.

Thanks for the responses...

Lopburi3 is on target for both responses...  Yes, I should have applied for a RE-ENTRY permit before I left -- but I was SUPER busy at the time and did not have the time to think of it...  Worth it -- only 1,000 Baht...  

Here's how I figured it out...  The Immigration Dept actually has a 24 hour call in service that is very helpful...  Got my GF on the line and we got a good service rep who knew what to do...  They even answer the line on Thai holidays -- AMAZING!  

USE form DTAW MAW 86 at Immigration to CONVERT your Tourist visa to a Non-Immigrant B Visa...  My used Non-Immigrant B Visa was still "fresh" in that I bought it in May in Los Angeles at the Thai Consulate there...  I had the receipt for the same item, too.  

So, filled out the form at Immigration, provided supporting documents, new picture and 2,000 Baht to make the conversion...  Now have a Non-Immigrant B Visa that is good until October...  

Already been to Labor Ministry last week...  OK with Work Permit now.  Will be issued later this week...  

Thanks for all the help...

Cheers,
