I'm looking into teaching English in Bangkok possibly next year and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction of where to start. What's better to have under my belt TESL, TESOL or CELTA? Also what visa would be best to apply for? I'm considering doing this for a year. Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone.

I wonder if you could be so kind as to help me. I have been offered an English teaching job at a language school but apparently I may need to sort out the non b visa myself which is rather daunting. I have both a degree and a masters, but no tefl. I'm told that the rules have changed in recent months so this seems to be presenting a problem and that an online tefl would not be considered acceptable either. What would be my best course of action in getting a visa/work permit sorted out do you think? Perhaps I should be looking at some sort of agency to help me navigate this?

Thank you so much.
