lovethai123 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) What about all the thai citizens (especially women) working illegally all over the globe. Anyhow looking at how a thai's english is limited to " go with you " i hope some day they allow people to tecah english without paperwork. These teachers are helping that poor thai kids and must be supported. Edited November 7, 2020 by lovethai123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukrules Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 There's a very clear warning here for anyone who is considering working as a teacher in Thailand - DON'T DO IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post NeoDinosaw Posted November 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2020 I worked as a teacher in a top university here in Thailand. I asked often about getting a work permit but the admin did nothing about it. Eventually I told them I was not doing any more teaching until I got the permit (I could live without the money). Suddenly they rushed around and I got my WP in one day going for a medical certificate (issued without me seeing either a doctor or a nurse) , and then to Dept of Employment and queuing up with about 15 Burmese. I was prepared to give them my thumb primnts but they wanted a signature instead ..... I still teasure that precious document 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine 70% of english teachers are working illegal. As in not having a degree. So they should all keep their gobs shut! Why not make that your mission in life, telling TEFLers to "keep their gobs shut". Edited November 8, 2020 by LomSak27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clowns like them make it more difficult for those here legally. They must have been aware that they were not legal. How do they make it more difficult rich boy?

Hanuman2547 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 A very long time ago I worked in Bangkok at two universities. One very well known and another just kind of well known. The paperwork for the one year visa and WP were started before I even started teaching. Granted, it took about three months to actually acquire both but during that time my passport was always stamped in red with the infamous words "under review" or something similar to that. Luckily I never had an issue with my paperwork. On another note, I would think right now, due to Covid-19 and the difficulty in teachers being able to enter Thailand, teachers would be in demand and therefore kind of hold the upper hand when it comes to finding employment.
