Police Certificate (THAI)

[Zoltan K 86]

hi Guys,

 

The below requirement is per the embassy's information packet. 

The current processing time is 30 business days.

 

Can the packet 3 cover letter be replaced by some other paperwork to start to obtain the police certificate for a K1 fiancee visa in Thailand?

Please share your experience.

to avoid further misunderstanding...I'm not asking where to get this. I'm asking about a specific point which the embassy describes:

I sent my fiancee a copy of noa2 and they used that she has police cert before nvc has sent anything to the embassy. Hope this helps

At first, one of the staff who checks the documents didn't want to accept my NOA2 so I asked another staff. When they saw my US tourist visa, they accepted it. I don't know why, though. Anyway, processing time is 3 working weeks.

The staff accepted a copy of our NOA2 (I-797) so we didn't have to wait until the packet 3.  They asked if we wanted expedited for around 1000 baht (even though the embassy says there are not expedited services), but since I got it early, we paid the 100 baht fee and picked up our police certificate about 3 weeks later.
