Affidavit of Support — Police Clearance Certificate
Thai national based in Phayao. Main document: Affidavit of Support. Context: a police clearance certificate was required by the receiving authority.
What we handled
- reviewed the originals against the receiving authority's checklist before starting
- sequenced the certification steps around each agency's submission windows
- filed with Royal Thai Police — Special Branch, for onward use in Albania
- point handled along the way: the name spelling on an older document did not match the passport
- Albania is a Hague Convention member, so the Apostille route was the primary path
Outcome summary: the complete set was delivered within the communicated window and filed on the booked date (processing time approx. 15–30 business days, subject to each agency's queue).
Prepare next time: keep a copy of the passport bio page from the start so every document uses the same spelling
Services involved: Police Clearance Certificate + Certified document translation
