Hi Nomads, anyone here who has experience or knowledge on the below areas, I would greatly appreciate your insights as I will be travelling to Thailand.
1. Work Visa Options: What types of work visas are available for teaching roles with a limited number of hours per week (e.g., 5 hours per week)
2. Are there opportunities for teaching software skills part-time, specifically as a software developer?
3. Teaching English: For those teaching English, what are the best practices for securing a work visa, and what qualifications are needed for part-time roles?
4. Teaching Entrepreneurship: Are there any programs or institutions looking for part-time entrepreneurship instructors?
5. Which cities or areas in Thailand don’t have or less stray dogs? (Where it’s safe to travel with a barking dog around other dogs)
If there are any specific resources, agencies, or contacts that could assist me, please feel free to share.
Thank you in advance for your help!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry focuses on securing work visas for part-time teaching roles in Thailand, specifically for teaching English and software skills, and mentions the difficulty of obtaining a visa with limited working hours. Insights shared include challenges in acquiring a work permit with only a few hours of teaching, opportunities to teach software skills remotely, and practical advice for finding part-time positions in entrepreneurship. Additionally, the poster seeks information on areas in Thailand that are safer for traveling with pets and suggests looking into gated communities.
1) Work permit and visa not gonna happen with so few hours.
2) There sure are. But best bet is to do so remotely / online from Thailand, not by being employed by a Thai company.
3) Pretty straight forward. Find a school to hire you - they will help you with the documentation for work permit and work visa. But again, unlikely to happen part time with such few hours.
4) There are some institutions committed to that. Check out International College of Digital Innovation of Chiang Mai University as an example. But again full time at small wage preferred.
Sure thing. Have you looked into the new Destination Thailand Visa (DTV)? With your background I would think working / teaching remotely would be better. Where in Thailand do you want to settle? If Chiang Mai, there is a good community around remote workers and AI entrepreneurs. Let me know if you come to town.
