What type of PCC does Cyprus require?
Cyprus requires MFA legalization followed by attestation at the สถานทูตไซปรัส. Every certificate we ship carries the issuing authority's full stamp and signature, certified translation by an MFA-recognized translator, MFA consular legalization, and สถานทูตไซปรัส attestation when required.
Cyprus visas commonly requiring PCC
PR, Digital Nomad. 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.
Workflow for clients already in Cyprus

(3) We process the criminal records check, fingerprinting via FBI FD-258 or the Thai embassy. (4) Translation + MFA legalization + สถานทูตไซปรัส attestation. (5) DHL/FedEx ships back to Cyprus in 7–15 days — total 15–30 days from dispatch.

MFA consular legalization process at the Department of Consular Affairs
Applications must be made at the Criminal Records Division (CRD), Building 7, Royal Thai Police HQ, Rama I Road, or via the People's Background Check Center, Forensic Science Police Office. The five core steps: (1) book online at pcscenter.sb.police.go.th, (2) prepare original and copy documents, (3) attend the 10-fingerprint scan, (4) pay the THB 100–200 government fee, (5) wait 7–15 business days standard or 3–5 days for express.
Submitting to the destination embassy and processing times
Required documents: original Thai national ID card, two copies of the ID, two copies of the house registration, original passport plus copies of the photo page and entry/exit stamps, every name-change certificate (if any), marriage/divorce certificate (if any), the completed application form, an invitation or purpose letter from the destination authority (embassy, employer, school), and — for representation — a Power of Attorney with a THB 30 stamp duty plus the representative's ID copy.
How to appoint our team via Power of Attorney
CRD government fees are THB 100 for the Thai-language certificate and THB 200 for the English version. Standard processing 7–15 business days; express 3–5 days. Our service fee covers document running, off-site fingerprinting, coordination, translation, MFA legalization, and embassy attestation — bundled from THB 4,000 depending on destination country and number of copies.
Common reasons applications get rejected or delayed
The police PCC alone is valid only inside Thailand. To use it overseas, two more steps are required: (1) translation by an MFA-recognized translator, and (2) consular legalization at the Department of Consular Affairs (MFA), then optionally embassy attestation. This is Thailand's legalization chain — Thailand has not joined the Hague Apostille Convention 1961, so true apostille is not available.
PCC for foreign nationals living in Thailand
An authentic certificate carries the Garuda emblem, the Royal Thai Police logo, the applicant's name in Thai and English, national ID number, date of birth, nationality, purpose of application, the result (clear / not clear with detail), the signature of the Commander of the CRD, and the office's blue seal. The reference number can be verified with the CRD.
Requesting a PCC from overseas using a Power of Attorney
Translation must be done by a translator registered with the MFA Department of Consular Affairs or otherwise recognized by them. The translation must mirror the original — dates, reference numbers, signatory name, and result. For Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, or Arabic, we offer in-house translation followed by MFA legalization.
