What are the visa options for teaching in Thailand if I don't have an exit ticket?

and I now believe that

@Je***

has more than enough information to be thoroughly confused by now. I think we're done.

Good Luck, (snap up a tourist visa before you wing your way here)

They will not let you in without a exit ticket,

Hang about everyone, :O At this time the O/P has NO job lined up, no employer to write a letter or provide documentation for their Non-B visa or their work permit.

Let's concentrate on what the O/P can do to get here trouble free and to stay here long enough to find a job. Offering out this and that suggestion is just pissing in the wind seeing as they have NO job lined up at this time.

I would say

, seeing as you do NOT have a job lined up here that the least you should do is get a single entry tourist visa from a thai consulate in your country before you wing your way here.

That serves a couple purposes,

#1 - it makes the airline you're flying in on NOT ask you for proof of onward travel when you check in

#2 - it gets you stamped into thailand for 60 days so you'll have enough time to look for work.

AND you can extend that 60 day stamp by 30 days for 1900baht at the immigration office giving you a total of 90 days in country. That should be enough for you to find a job and get the company to give you paperwork so you can go to a thai consulate in a nearby country and get a 90 day single entry Non-B visa.

A bachelor degree is needed to teach in Thailand. The TEFL is not needed tho. The university degree can be in anything, doesn't have to be education. I've seen people work without university degree but they get paid less.and i'm not sure they are *legally* working.

There is a woman from Cameroon teaching english to seven grade kids not far from where we live. Her accent is out of this world and the kids don't understand much, some parents complain, etc, but they are in need of teacher in some of Issan province so if u are looking to teach english there they need teacher.

You can apply for a non Iimmigrant b 90 day visa from your own country under the appropriate work category, you can then Come to Thailand and once you have a work permit (normally assisted by an employer as you need to have a contract of employment, you then can extend your stay for 1 year (not a visa it is an extension of your non b 90 day visa) again the school should assist with that.

You need two different things to teach in Thailand. The Non Immigrant B visa to stay inside Thailand and the Work Permit to work in Thailand. Both you get with documents supplied by your employer. There is no such thing as a work visa.
