What is a Thai PCC for use in Kyrgyzstan?
A Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is the official Thai record confirming whether you have a criminal record in Thailand. It is required by Kyrgyzstan authorities for immigration visas · permanent residency · work permits · professional licensing · marriage registration · inter-country adoption.
For Kyrgyzstan, the full legalisation chain is: CID (Royal Thai Police) → Certified Translation → MFA Legalization → Kyrgyzstan Embassy in Bangkok → delivery.
Authentication route for Kyrgyzstan
Kyrgyzstan is not party to (or does not accept) the Apostille Convention for Thai documents — the PCC must go through MFA legalisation and then the Kyrgyzstan Embassy in Bangkok before shipping.
Workflow: 1) Request PCC at CID 2) Certified translation into English / Kyrgyzstan's official language 3) MFA Legalisation 4) Kyrgyzstan Embassy 5) International courier 2–3 business days.

How is the cost calculated?
It depends on the number of certified sets, the translation language, and which authorities must stamp the file. We issue a fixed written quote before we start and bill government fees at cost.
