Visas and Work Permits for Teachers in Thailand

Visas and Work Permits for Teachers in Thailand
Working in Thailand as a teacher (or even volunteering) without a non-immigrant visa and a work permit is illegal and can lead to deportation or imprisonment. Normally, schools provide the necessary paperwork in order to obtain those. However, some schools are reluctant to do so when the teacher does not hold the necessary qualifications, usually a B.A.
"Non-immigrant B" visas allow their owners to work in Thailand. They can be obtained at any Thai embassy outside of Thailand. However, some embassies or consulates, such as the ones in Penang, Malaysia and Phnom Penh, Cambodia, usually request more paperwork and deny more visas than others in the region. Usually, the Thai embassy in Vientiane, Laos is considered as the easiest place to get a visa in South-East Asia.
