Hello!
Unfortunately I'm in a tight spot and this may fall into visa advice or not.
I just met with an agency that is offering me a position teaching at a school in Krabi today. They just told me the director who I haven't met yet wants to meet me then start teaching immediately that day. I'm on Tourist visa and they say they'll work on getting my work permit/visa as quickly as possible.
I've been very clear I want my visa before I work but this is the situation still.
I have a tourist visa that I extended(my first ever visa) which expires on January 13th I have a flight out of the country to USA that day also.
Should I just leave this situation right now or trust they will have my work visa paperwork ready for me?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is uncertain about starting a teaching job in Krabi while on a tourist visa, as the agency promises to expedite the work visa process. They seek advice on whether to meet the school director and start working immediately or to avoid the situation due to concerns about legality and the agency's credibility.
