Hello everyone, I'm planning to apply for an ED visa at the thai embassy in Kuala Lumpur next week. I've downloaded a checklist from their website about which documents I'll need.

One of the documents says "Certified criminal record in the applicant's country of origin or in Thailand (for private course/program provider only)"

What do they mean by that? What is a private course/provider program? I'm not gonna teach anything, I'm planning to study thai.

Should i go to a police station to get a statement?

Thanks in advance
