Police Clearance Attestation
Police Clearance Attestation
The Royal Thai Police issues criminal record checks (police clearance certificates) required by UAE immigration authorities for employment visa applications and residency processing. These certificates have a limited practical validity of 3-6 months, making timely attestation critical.
The police clearance certificate must pass through the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs for legalization, then the UAE Embassy in Bangkok for attestation, and finally MOFA in the UAE. Given the document's time-sensitive nature, GreenAttest prioritizes police clearance attestations to preserve maximum validity for UAE immigration use.
GreenAttest also assists with obtaining the police clearance certificate itself, including coordinating fingerprint appointments at the Criminal Records Division in Bangkok and arranging collection of the issued certificate for immediate entry into the attestation chain.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Begin the attestation process on the same day you receive the police clearance certificate. Every day of delay reduces the remaining validity, and expired certificates require starting the entire process from scratch.
- If applying from the UAE, use the Royal Thai Embassy's police clearance application service rather than mailing documents to Bangkok. Embassy-originated applications are typically processed faster by the Criminal Records Division.
- If you have lived in countries other than Thailand, check whether your UAE employer also requires police clearance from those countries. GreenAttest can coordinate multi-country clearances simultaneously.
