Q1237. How do I apply for a Thai police clearance for teaching licensing in China or Japan?
Answered by NYC Visa & Translation
Apply through the Royal Thai Police for the clearance requested by your Chinese or Japanese teaching authority, after obtaining that authority’s exact document requirements. Ask whether the certificate is needed for teacher licensing, employment, or immigration, since those processes may have different recipients and formalities. Prepare the police application using the current official checklist and ask whether an employer or licensing-body request letter is needed. Confirm the required language, acceptable translator, document age, and authentication route with the relevant Chinese or Japanese authority or embassy. If Thai legalization is required, check the Department of Consular Affairs instructions. Do not assume a document prepared for one country will meet the other’s requirements.
