ORIGINAL POSTER

Has anyone recently visited the Thai Consulate in Penang to fetch their ED Visa?

I would like to know if they have changed the required criminal record check document in any way?

There is a school suggesting to me that they might have updated their requirements for this doc that may now need fingerprints etc?  And this type of doc must be done at the police station. 

Will they accept the same type of check they always have, or is there some new rule now?

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user is inquiring about any recent changes in the criminal record check requirements for obtaining an ED Visa at the Thai Consulate in Penang. There is speculation about a possible update regarding the necessity of fingerprinting and documentation to be obtained at the police station, and the user seeks confirmation on whether previous documents will still be accepted.
