I plan on retiring next year but I want to teach English in Thailand
Wondering just what would be the easiest visa to get so I can stay indefinitely.
Dint mind reporting but I don’t want my money tied up in the bank forever either
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around an individual planning to retire and teach English in Thailand. The main focus is on the challenges of obtaining the right visa. Participants note that one cannot simultaneously retire and work in Thailand, and suggest the Non-B Visa for those with a Thai spouse. A work permit is necessary for teaching, which typically requires a degree; online teaching is mentioned as a potential alternative. Concerns about age limits for teaching positions and the need for a TEFL certification are also addressed, emphasizing that planning and adherence to legal requirements are crucial for a long-term stay.
