Changing jobs right now and would love to come to Thailand as English Language Teacher (Master of Applied Linguistics Australia) or to do counselling (Post Grad Dip in Counselling x2 New Zealand) in a school or private institution. Any advice from anyone about these possibilities I would be grateful to hear. Currently in Brisbane, Australia but ready to fly!

I am currently seeking work in a school teaching english in Thailand (fully qualified) and therefore, assume I will be applying for a Non-immigrant visa “B” once (if) I get a job offer.

I have my own small graphic design business, currently registered in Ireland. if I would like to carry out work while living in Thailand on this visa, while still working at a school, will I also need to apply for a DTV visa? Should I transfer my business to Thailand instead? I understand that if I will be living here more than 183 days a year, that I will need to pay taxes in Thailand.

tl;dr Can I work on my small business while on a Visa B and teaching in a school?

Hello everyone I've been in this group for a few years now but haven't frequented FB like I use to. We're finally making the move in July (visiting next month for 2 weeks to scope things out) but I'm getting in over my head about which visas to get for us (me, husband and 2 kids) i have my remote business so I think I can do the DTV, but I wanted us to learn thai at a school sp I was thinking the education visa, but I also have my masters and TEFL so I can teach english and get a work visa.... I wanted to actually relax for once and be work free and just enjoy my family for 3 months before going back to work but then I was reading that I have to apply for a work visa outside of Thailand? I was thinking do 3 months tourist visa and then apply for work visa...I feel like I'm making this harder than it needs to be. Just looking for some advice 🤗 thank you.

Hi all! I’m new to the group. We are looking to retire in about 3 years to Thailand. My husband gets both military pension and disability, which we can easily live off of, but I also wanted to maybe teach English, as a supplemental if possible. I’ve taught both high school and college level English. When we move, I would be 53 years of age. I’ve read Thailand has a strict retirement age, but wasn’t sure if that applied to expats. Any information is greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone! I need advice can someone help me answer this please. If I’m planning to move to Thailand in June with my 2 small children should I obtain a visa now or once I arrive? And what visa do my kids need?

I would like to teach English but I don’t have a bachelor degree only a TEFL Certificate. I’m not sure if I should go for a work visa or Educational visa. 🤷🏽‍♀️

And lastly, should I book a one way ticket if I plan to stay long term.✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Thanks in advance!!!

Does anyone have any advice on teaching English as a second language in Thailand?

I've been told that Thailand has local programs for TEFL certification, which also offer cultural orientation. Any recommendations of those?

New to the site and from what I have seen I will probably get some great advice.

Looking at moving to Thailand to be with my girlfriend and looking to get married.

Im 53 currently working as a prison officer.

She owns her own home and runs her own business.

What is the best way for me to get out there? I would also like to work if possible.

Any help would be very much appreciated.
