ORIGINAL POSTERHello! Im returning to thailand and want to stay long term preferably on a working visa so i can make a bit of money too, ive stayed previously on 6 month tourist visas and am looking for a better option. An Ed visa wouldn’t be bad either. I studied muay thai there for a long time and was wondering if anyone know any gyms that give out ed visas, also if doing the tefl course and trying to get a job teaching english is worth it. Any recommendations helps alot, thanks!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking long-term visa options for returning to Thailand, expressing interest in a working visa or an Ed visa, specifically through gym participation or teaching English. The comments clarify that a working visa is a Non-Immigrant B visa, which requires employer sponsorship, and that ED visas cannot be obtained directly from gyms. Additional suggestions include pursuing the TEFL certification for teaching opportunities.

Let's see: I want working Visa or ED Visa given by a gym or teach English. To start there is no working Visa, it is called a Non Immigrant B visa and can only be applied for with help of your future employer. ED visa is not given by gyms or schools but you can apply for one with papers from gym or school at Consulate or Embassy.

Copy your school diploma's, make a CV. Make sure your job is not on the prohibited list for foreigners. Go to possible companies nicely dressed, introduce yourself and ask for a job.

im aware of the process, looking for good options of how to go about itRobert *******
Than you have to find an Employer, he has to apply for the Work Permit and after that, you can apply for a Non Immigrant B visa.

My advise: First think what you want, work, train, study or teach? Than find an area where you want to stay in Thailand. Than use Google to find job adverts, gyms, schools and contact them.
