Always cash

Yes the border is very strict now and they are asking everyone for the cash proof of funds. We have teachers crossing all the time for their Non Bs and all have been checked including European passport holders, South Africans and quite a few others. At the moment it seems the American passports dont get asked but this is not a guarantee

Is it true then that a border wont accept certain passports? She says Myanmar wont accept South Africans

I may be wrong but any consulate should help then. Just be sure to have your Proof of Funds and your onward flight and proof of accommodation

What kind of Visa are you doing and it depends on which consulate your school prepares your paperwork for if you are going for a Non B for teaching

This Is Thailand!

we specialise in placement of teachers and were under the same impression. However the dept labour are now insisting on us providing TEFL certificates with the paperwork even for our degree holders and we have had some declined as an Online TEFL not accepted. We are trying to pinpoint the rules however it seems to be different depending on the province our teachers are in ! So any official link etc saying TEFL not required would help us please !

I would not think so. In-class practical TEFL teaching certification is becoming more compulsory and Online Tefls being rejected frequently but not always. I havent heard about the Culture certificate. Has this happened ? Please keep us posted

Never work on a Tourist Visa this is totally illegal. Anyone offering guaranteed employment upon completion must provide a working Visa and work permit

Yes
