What type of PCC does Sweden require?
Sweden requires MFA legalization followed by attestation at the สถานทูตสวีเดน. Every certificate we ship carries the issuing authority's full stamp and signature, certified translation by an MFA-recognized translator, MFA consular legalization, and สถานทูตสวีเดน attestation when required.
Sweden visas commonly requiring PCC
Work Permit, Sambo. All long-stay visas above require a PCC from every country where the applicant lived for 6–12 months or more during the past 5–10 years. Our finished certificate is ready to file immediately after the legalization chain is complete.

PCC for foreign nationals living in Thailand
If you cannot visit the CRD in person, you can authorize our team via a Power of Attorney with a THB 30 stamp duty and ID copies of both grantor and representative. We schedule one visit for the legally-required fingerprint scan, then handle every remaining step.
Requesting a PCC from overseas using a Power of Attorney
Common rejection / delay reasons: unclear fingerprints requiring a re-scan, mismatched names across documents, missing supporting documents, the stated purpose not matching the destination form, address mismatches between house registration and passport, or an outstanding case requiring clarification. Pre-application consultation eliminates most of these risks.
Mobile live-scan fingerprinting at home or office
Foreign nationals residing in Thailand can request a Thai PCC for their Thai Work Permit, LTR visa, Thai PR application, or use back home. The process mirrors Thai citizens but uses the original passport and Work Permit; the destination purpose must be clearly stated.
1-day express PCC for visa-deadline cases
Thai citizens living overseas can use our service without flying home. Sign a Power of Attorney at a Thai consulate in your country of residence, send the originals and copies to our team, and we handle fingerprinting either through the Thai consulate (live-scan) or with the FBI FD-258 form, then ship the legalized PCC to your destination via DHL / FedEx.
PCC for international adoption proceedings
Mobile Live-Scan fingerprinting suits clients who can't visit the Criminal Records Division. We bring an FBI-grade digital fingerprint scanner to your home or office across Bangkok and surroundings within 4 hours of booking. Add-on THB 1,500-2,500.
PCC for employment in Five Eyes countries (US/UK/CA/AU/NZ)
1-day express for visa deadlines uses the CRD Premium channel — government fee jumps to THB 1,000 plus THB 5,000 express service. Start before 09:00 and the certificate is issued by 16:00 the same day; MFA + diplomatic mission stacks 2-3 business days on top.
