ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
For retiring in Thailand on an O-A visa, a national level criminal background check is necessary. While a printout from your local police can suffice for some purposes, an FBI background check is often required, and there are services available for expedited processing. If pursuing a NON-O visa, the criminal background check may not be essential.
