Thread: Police Clearance for Non OA from London

The embassy website says quite categorically they will only accept police clearance from here; https://www.acro.police.uk/police_certificates.aspx

Even though your clearance sounds like a higher level, the Scottish connection may well cause a problem.
Call the embassy but be prepared for disappointment.

graym; Can't you use the Thai Consulate in Glasgow? Or do they not issue that type of visa?

The Basic Disclosure omits those offences covered by enhanced disclosure, I am not suggesting you have anything on either,just received one agter 7 months, so if you require enhanced and you cannot apply yourself allow plenty of time.

PS Im not sue Thais will accept either I needed it for another education related purpose where there was the possibility of access to 'vulnerable' school governors !

The UK consulates no longer issue long stay O/A visas. Has to be done through the embassy by post or in person.

Thanks for the input, I do unfortunately have a couple of misdemeanors in the past, over 30 years ago...

Probably regarded as 'spent' under the rehabilitation of offenders act. Should not count against your police report today.
