To change to non-b, teaching in Thailand it requires: 5.5 The Applicant’s educational degree certificate (must be translated into Thai or English and certified by local or overseas Embassy or Consulate of the foreigner and by the Legalization Division, Ministry of  Foreign Affairs of Thailand). What I understand from this is that I would first translate my original degree and then certify it by my embassy. Would this also include my transcript?

Answer summary

Changing to a non-B visa for teaching in Thailand requires the educational degree certificate to be translated and certified. Comments suggest that while a transcript is generally not required, some applicants have obtained a notarized transcript prior to embassy certification to prevent issues with authenticity, due to past occurrences of fraudulent degrees and transcripts.

Most had been getting a notarized transcript from the school first, then sending that to the embassy, with the notary stamp on it, that the school verified is yours. Too many "English teachers" in Thailand in the past were buying their degrees and transcripts on KhaoSan road instead of having one, or bothering to get one from their school. Even a few government officials were caught with fake transcripts. As a result, it spilled over to the embassies not trusting any degree, or transcript, unless it is certified by the actual school as being yours.

Not sure. Mine was in English. The school or place you are going to teach should be able to advise. Or immigration, or your Embassy (if they will notarise, many won’t).
