What are the best options for teachers seeking jobs in Southeast Asia before the visa deadline?

@Darren *******

This post is not about “after corona”. It specifically states a date, sep 26.

@Manuel ******

, Geography and science is a no-no. Im guessing you're not a native English speaker? And you aint really a teacher, am I right? Might get away with it in the village.

@Steve ******

did you read or not my first comment? Loool i said "same situation"

@Manuel ******

Loool? There you go!

...like you I don’t want to go back to my home country,so I will find a place to go go before I go back here

@Patrick *******

nothing official has been announced

@Jane **********

do u know if they will have quarantine with expensive hotels like Thailand

@Shannon *******

no. As I said no details whatsoever have been announced (and this is after speaking to several people in Bali). But I can’t imagine they will just open the border without applying any restrictions.

@Sunisa ***********

no. Sorry. Not as a teacher. As a student to learn Thai. I have applied and it's being sent to Moe. I just don't know if immigration will let me do the visa without leaving.

@Shannon *******

what type of Visa are you holding at the moment?

@Sunisa ***********

im on tr visa , already extended and on amnesty

@Shannon *******

if the moe grant you a permit then the immigration would also grant you a permit to stay.

@Sunisa ***********

hope you are right

@John *******

not yet mate. Been informed several times but not valid. The rumors are because the governor said to the media that he will welcome the int'l flight on Sept 12, but it's not his authority to say that.

@Doug *********

I'll take that bet :)

@Doug *********

who seal what deal?

VN is currently closed to tourists.

Only VN citizens on repatriation flights, and few foreigners on case by case approval by authorities like experts working on major infrastructure projects etc.

No border opening dates set, and no dates under discussion as per now.

@Jane **********

. That's if you deliberately overstay. There is provision for further extension, although options are running out for tourists, but long stay visas have possibilities if they can show proof of necessity, for example if they are supporting a family, or have a work contract.

@Bobby *******

any idea how to get a "in-country visa" when having a work contract? I have a (signed) contract, but no way to get a new non-B visa without leaving TH.. ?

@Sebastian ************

. I think this is covered by item 2 on the announcement. Wait for August 1st for more details from immigration.

I know

@Bobby *******

probably on youtube university

@Carsten ***********

. I was thinking the Facebook panel of experts had been consulted!! 🤣🤣🤣

@Bobby ***

. Just announced today. I think the ambassador is getting pissed off with people who are trying every angle not to go home

@Bobby *******

yeah I got that impression too. Yet in his addresses in March he was advising Australians that if they had a place to stay and sufficient funds to do so, to stay put and expect to shelter in place for some time. I sense some irritability in his addresses now, like it's Australian citizen's/resident's own fault that airfares are so high now and that returning citizens will have to pay for their own quarantine. Implicit message being; "you should have returned home when we told you to". Mixed messages, much

@Dianne ****

. A lot has changed in the last 4-5 months, and I think back in March most people thought it would be all over by August. Now it's starting to look like it could be another year, I think he's getting tired of the perpetual whiners, who now realise they have to leave Thailand and go home, many expecting free flights and no quarantine. The world is in crisis, there are no more cheap fares and unfortunately for those returning quarantine has to be paid for under the "user pays" system. I would be ratty too, if I'd organised repatriation flights months ago which initially were oversubscribed, and when it came time to pay the $ fare (with free quarantine and no limit on arrivals) people disappeared and flights left with stacks of empty seats. You can rest assured if the embassy starts handing out letters again, the expressions of interest will drop off again as people will be thinking "great - another free ride". Bottom line is the expensive fares and government quarantine are here for the long haul. Nothing will change in the short term, except fares might go higher

@Jim *********

Gulf companies, Thai Airway is selling tickets for October

@Michel **********

Just because they are selling them doesn’t mean they will take off. All airlines are doing this. They need the income and being able to sit on refunds from people who had purchased helps their cash flow.

@Michel **********

I'm already in with no plans to leave until Thailand reopens with reasonable entry requirements. Bali has been one of the safest places on the planet, after Anarctica.

Maldives requirements are fairly good.

@Michel **********

I’ve been reading them. Seems v tentative and short on detail = By no means certain. But thanks for your opinion

@Michel **********

If Indo reopens, I would not go to Jakarta or Java. C19 #'s and deaths have been high there. Bali has had very low #'s and only 6 deaths. Life is quite normal here.

@Jim *********

how long have you lived in Bali

There through Covid?

So what are there restrictions from other countries

Say if I’m coming from Philippines?

@Jim *********

all about your health, in my case covid moved my risk of dying this year from 0.3 to 0.5%...i am ok with that!

@Mic***

, the question is only whether Bali only, or can go to rest of Indonesia?

@Mykhailo ********

dixit CNN website

@Mykhailo ********

good question... seems that Java will reopen first
