Hey, y'all. I'm thoroughly confused by what I'm learning about becoming a teacher in Thailand. I need help sorting this. I want to make sure that everything I do is legal. I just found this group, otherwise I would have relied on y'all more than the "teacher" groups I'd found so far.
I'm getting conflicting information about needing to have a university degree to teach in Thailand. I had been hearing that it wasn't required. But, then I joined the teacher groups and they say it Is required and that immigration is really cracking down on teachers without degrees.
The embassy website does not say that a university degree is required. It says that degree/diplomas/certificates are required. I'll have my TEFL certificate just not a university degree. The embassy website also says at the bottom that this is subject to change without notice - the standard disclaimer that we see everywhere.
The teacher groups say that the embassy website is inaccurate and we can't trust anything posted there.
I'm not stuck on the idea of teaching but that seems the easiest route if it does not, in fact, require a degree to be legal. I truly just want a legal job that will pay me a living wage and will possibly help with visa application paperwork.
I hope this makes sense and that y'all can give me some valid advice. Thank you for reading this far! š
