  1. Hey you guys, I am trying to figure out what's going on, and just let me give you the info that I have and tell me what it seems like. So I am married to my Thai wife, here on a one year type O visa, I was interviewed by the a local public school, I prefer not to say where, but middle of the country. This school is from what I have heard ranked very high far as Thai public schools go. Now they told me they could higher me on as a guest speaker and that they have done this before. Some more info about myself...I have a TEFL and a college paramedic cert from the US ...so I am a 100% aware of the legal ramifications and problems about easily obtaining a work permit, with no BA, no need to reiterate them. So I am thinking ok they can hire me as a TA or something else no sounds good. When I spoke to the head of the foreign program visa and WP dept today, she told me that they don't have a work permit for me, but instead have a letter from there school saying that I can legally work there and that if Thai labor or immigration asked it would be sufficient. So my wife is not concerned because of the reputation of the school, but I am concerned because as far as I know I need a work permit... I hadn't thought of applying for it myself until after talking with her today, I am not even sure it would get approved based on what my position is. I am a bit nervous though, the school has told me everything will be fine and they have had many teachers like this including another one starting this semester and we are supposed to start soon, contracts already signed and everything. But I would like to get some non local POV on this situation? My wife is currently pregnant and I don't want to do anything to jeopardize me being able to stay here. So how does this look? Or feel to some of you who have been here longer than me?
