How does one go about obtaining a work visa, without a degree? It matters little to me, because I have a degree. But how is it done, at the language schools, etc?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Obtaining a work visa for teaching in Thailand typically requires a bachelor's degree. While some language schools may hire teachers without a degree, it is generally not legally permissible to conduct classes without one. The post discusses the challenges faced by individuals seeking work visas without formal educational qualifications.

I don't think it's legally possible to be a teacher without at least a bachelor's degree.

looks like based on this article they aren't classified as teachers but instead are classroom assistants.

I believe there's a strict maximum number of years this is possible as well.
