Yuliya13 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hello! Im coming to Thai in October and have no time to take TOEIC in Russia. Is it possible to start work as a teacher in Thailand and to have non imm.B visa done without the test? Or maybe I can take it when Im already employed?

lostinisaan Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 You could theoretically apply for a Non-B visa in Loas, once you've found employment. But you'll have to have a BA in any field. If your degree is not in English, it has to be translated into Thai and verified. The Non-B visa will give you 90 days to sort everything out with Khurusapha ( Teachers' Council of Thailand). http://site.ksp.or.th/home.php?site=englishsite Here's a link to the TOEIC test centers:http://cpathailand.co.th/?article=8 Best of luck and welcome to the jungle.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Our school, and numerous other ones, will not process the papers for your non-immigrant B visa without the TOEIC. I believe the area education office wants the TOEIC before sending the letter requesting the non-immigrant B visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the area education office wants the TOEIC before sending the letter requesting the non-immigrant B visa. Well, I needed my TOEIC score for the Labour Dept. and the WP. Not for the B-Visa. Just saying. YMMV and it might be cheaper to do it in Bangkok. OTOH, one of the things I do not understand is how schools can employ people who won't even take the very low hurdle of a TOEIC score of 600. What's up with that?!? It's crazy! Someone benefits from corruption... And I pity the students who will be taught by a guy who cannot even handle basic English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryLH Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 "...it might be cheaper to do it in Bangkok." The regular price in Bangkok is 1500 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
