Thai Teacher's license. Another great idea to make the paperwork for foreign teachers endless and complicated. Has anyone gone to BKK recently to get this sorted and how was it? My school says I either go by myself and pay 500B or an agent does it for 3000. What is the best option?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The process for obtaining a Thai Teacher's license has caused frustration among foreign teachers, with some questioning whether to handle the application themselves or hire an agent. The school offers two options: going to Bangkok by oneself for 500 Baht or hiring an agent for 3000 Baht. Comments suggest that if one earns less than 2500 Baht per day, it's advisable to acquire the license personally. Additionally, there is information about obtaining a temporary license, which can be done without any extra fee other than mailing the paperwork, lasting for two years with possible extensions.
