What are the visa implications for a teacher in Thailand without a degree?

John *******

Ocassionally, immigration will ask for a degree especially if the person is working at a government school because it is part of the requirement for working as a teacher. An agency is a bit different. That is why the word special is used. He needs to get a degree.

Is my Thai girlfriend using me for money?

John *******

Depends on where you met her. Did u meet her at 7 eleven outside of the bar life area, have an affair with her, meet her parents and stay at her place? Did u make a promise that you will back? If yes, send no more than 7000 baht per month. Remember your promises. Otherwise, she is using u.
