Need help w/current laws etc , w/t.e.f.l

[katarina]

hi,  please can you tell me if one requires a b.a/degree for working visa as a english teacher? i am planning to study a t.e.f.l course in bkk , then look for work, but  while searching sites have seen  mention  that laws have changed requiring t.e.f.l teachers to have a diploma or degree..in addition to t.e.f.l. I  would like confirmation/information plus  any info about the work situation and recommended courses , would it be better to study in thailand but look for work in another country in s.e.asia?

i hope to balance paid work with some time volunteering work with kids also.. thankyou all for anyhelp. kat
