Is it possible to open a bank account with just a Non-B visa? I’ve recently accepted a teaching job, and while I already have my Non-B visa, I’m still waiting for my work permit to be issued

Can we do volunteer teaching (no pay) at charity school with DTV

Hi all.

I need some assistance in applying for a DTV visa.

Me and my husband is from S.A and he work in Thailand as a teacher.

I have a Ed visa study Thai but it ends now and I have to get another visa.

He's school don't assist with a letter to follow him on Non O Visa and I know to run borders with a tourist visa will also just be temp and short term so I was looking into a DTV visa.

I applied for Preply but not active yet but like to start to working online with DTV visa

My question is.. If I don't have a proof of income now will Thai Immigrations approve my registration?

I also notice they request a registred buss documents.Will Preply approved assist on application?

I notice the amout of 600 000 THB saving in 6 months bank statements and its not the problem.Only my recent income and registration.

Any advise will be so much appreciated.

Thank you🧘‍♀️

Hello!! I’m a semi-retired Canadian high school teacher with a TEFL certificate heading to Hua Hin in August. I would like to do some teaching with Thai students. Should I just go on a tourist visa and apply for a work visa, if I’m offered a job? Or do I need to have a work visa just to apply for a job? I would prefer the option that is not going to land me in a Thai jail!!😆

I saw some people on here already cancelled their DTV to switch to Non-B/Work Permit

Question: Did you need to leave the country to do it? If you did not, how much did it cost to get the Non - B/ Work Permit......(This question is aimed at teachers mainly)

DTV holder here, now would like to apply for a teaching job. So: German national, master's degree equivalent (economics and political science), my English is close to mother tongue and my computer skills are top. Since last December: got a soft-power DTV (Muay Thai). Now I'd like to apply for teacher jobs on nice Thai islands - how is this possible with DTV? What could be done?

Anybody with experience in this regard - would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

Question to UK teachers in the group (if there are any....), or international teachers if there aren't.

Have any of you had success gaining a DTV working as an online teacher of English using a TEFL qualification through a UK based teaching agency?

Asking because that's one of the options for my wife and I in a couple of years once I retire from primary school teaching here in the UK, as the security deposit is lower than the retirement visa, and the DTV gives me options to top up the pension with a bit of income.

Any advice/opinions greatfully received. 👍👍

Hello, I’m currently volunteering and have recently been offered a teaching position. My school is very supportive, but I’m curious about visa matters. Has anyone here successfully switched from a Non-O visa to a Non-B visa within Thailand? I’m under the impression that in-country visa conversions might be mostly available for tourists on visa exemptions or tourist visas. I’m eager to know if it’s possible to complete the process without leaving the country. Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

I’m sure it’s been asked before but I’m not sure what keywords to type in to look for it. With this said, I’d like to know if there’s a way around having 15k in my bank account to get my DTV. My wife and I plan to move to Thailand mid April and live for a few years to teach at schools in rural area. Please let me know what to do

Anyone know if you can teach in a school and maintain DTV Visa or do you have to switch to the Non-Immigrant "B" Visa?
