Is it legal to work with a TEFL certification in Thailand on a tourist visa without a degree?

Universities are different to schools with different rules.

Thanks. Agree.

Thanks. David John Philpott.

I agree with you, I know about it.

Actually I am not interested in job.

But if opportunities and law permitted then some time I wish to as freelance work, not permanent basis.

My quarry based only on " no stamped employment prohibited."

Its just for knowledge and if anytime we require it.

I am happy with non OA. I just arrived and have longtime to apply extension of stay.

My enquiry was only about stamp or without stamp.

BTW will you highlight which province user friendly about job for OA visa to permit.

TIA.

@Kri***

. I was on an OA without work prohibited stamp when I first started at my Uni 7 years ago. I did get WP & job but many IO’s don’t like it. I then changed to ‘B’ because it’s easier.

Yes!!! I aware about it. But your special point unless " employment prohibited ", given me a new thought about it.

Actually my background is technical instructor in past.

Although I am not interest to do job, but If opportunities available then I must update me about point of you.

Sure I will contact MOL.

Thanks again Robert Lagas.

I hope Dear and respectable Tod Daniels too light on this issue because his may be he have some special effect in his brain.

Thank you.

You need a work permit, most of the Ministries of Labor will not provide a work permit to holders of the Non Immigrant O or O-A Visa because the are based on being over 50 years of age and sitting out their time in Thailand, better translated Retirement.

@Robert ******

.. Can I add my quarry with your this comments.

I have non OA without stamp of employment prohibited.

Can I do job which is not in list restricted job for farangs or other job that not reserved for Thai.

I agree need to start new thread about it.

But its commented here so I think it will be OK to ask here.

Thanks in advance.

I second that

Please keep all conversations on the page,

@Da***

. You have a tourist visa and working?

If so, how did you get your work permit &/or teachers license?

That is true. Learned. From experience

The TEFL courses will tell you anything in order to get you to signup.

Another thing, Thai immigration can only grant work visas to teachers with a bachelor's degree. Without a degree, they cannot. This is for teaching. If you wanted to do other jobs, they CAN grant you a visa without a degree.
