Anyone have experience with this? We're in our final days in Khon Kaen, so are running around getting all needed documentation before I get my ass blacklisted for 10 years, and so we can secure him a visitor VISA to Canada.

He's lived in Thailand for over 6 months, so I'm sure the Canadian government will want a criminal background check from the Thai police for him. Told him to get one, he says he went to three police stations, and they all told him he needs to go to Bangkok to get it. That has to be bullshit, and he just doesn't know what he's doing.

At least in Canada, criminal background checks are very common, cost about $10, and you can't even get a job as a landscaper without one. I can't possibly see why he'd have to travel to Bangkok to get one.

Anyone with any experience with this? We should be capable of obtaining a criminal record at any local police station, right? If not, can we just do it via mail in Bangkok without actually having to travel to Bangkok?
