Whats steps did anyone take to move from the united states to Thailand?

I'm an engineer from Malaysia who is trying to relocate to Bangkok but, no companies are willing to sponsor a visa or a work permit hence making it hard to land a job, will it be a good idea to get a teaching certificate instead and work as an English teacher before switching jobs with the work permit that I will be provided as a teacher.Does that improve my chances in any way?Anyone care to share their thoughts on this please.

Would anyone have experience with applying for a DTV for a digital self employed role you want to build from scratch and develop? I am a Senior Experienced Teacher in my home country and can show 15 years of employment history in that role, in schools. My intent is to develop a small online teaching (probably English) business probably in the China market. I will have funds to live and this will just be a sideline. Maybe a visa agent would be my best bet. Thank you

I'm applying from Vietnam soon. I work teaching English for Italki HK Limited. I'm not an employee but considered a freelance worker. When they ask for: Professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status, what exactly does that entail? Would screenshots of my profile page showing the number of students and lessons, my picture, my teaching style and methods be enough? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hanoi DTV workcation approved 15th Sept.

Docs submitted 8th, updated bank statement requested and submitted 10th.

I am a preply Business English teacher. I provided profile, lesson schedules, lesson example, payments history and preply insights, listing earnings to double check bank statements.

I gave 6 months bank statements listing preply payments in the notes.Only the last 2 months were over 500 k.

I used ISSA Compass, who although were a little slow responding to whatsapp messages, were professional and efficient...(most of the time).

Many thanks to all contributors in this group which were extremely helpful.

I am happy to answer any questions anyone may have.

With Thanks,

Matt

Hello !! I am hrishikesh from india

I would like to work in thailand ! I dont know whats the process!! I visited thailand many time but not stays more than 6 weeks so i am planning to stay and work in Thailand ( phuket ) ! Is here anyone to explain what work permit cost and how to apply !!

Hi there, I'm a little way from enacting this plan, but I'm looking at relocating to Thailand in order to teach English. I'll be doing a CELTA course before looking for employment.

I've been advised to get an actual tourist visa from the embassy (I'm from the UK) in order to avoid questions for not having an onward flight. I've also been told to book a cheap outbound flight to a nearby country before my 90 days (60 + 30 renewal). Anyone been in this situation? Any advice?

Thanks!

I’m 19 years old and looking to stay in Thailand long term as an English teacher. I am American native English speaker. I will have my 120 hr tefl certification in three weeks. I’d much rather prefer to tutor but if I needed to teach in a school I could do that. I don’t have 800,000 thb saved but I could borrow it for 24hrs to show them a bank statement. Any ideas?

I have a good command over English, however teaching jobs prefer native speakers & rarely brown skinned folks from India- Why?

Can foreigners live in Thailand for long term?

What job to do please?
