because they paperclip a lot of money to the application. Accepted practice. When I did this route, the immigration had a special deal and officer that a ton of application with money paper clip. It's a win win situation for everyone. No need to tie up funds that your not making interest off. They want to play games so play the game back to your advantage

I have yet never seen anyone ever show proof of money. I have never flown in with cash on me. I think a bunch of want to be expat read what they see and quote as they had experience. In 5 years I have never heard of one person to show proof.

of getting dental implants he will need healing time, usually 3 months and if doing a full mouth restoration, it will take time and a lot of appointments. I own a dental laboratory and it could easily take up to 6 months or more.

They say to bring it but they never asked me. They have computers their that would give them access to find quickly but to be honest I don't think they even care. I had my documents in 5 minutes. Just paid the fee. Easy peezy. The united states' doesn't realize the marriage in Thailand so they don't care. And I am talking about the US embassy. I brought 2 sets with the Texas seal on them to be safe and no one ever asked to see them. Literally I was in and out in five minutes. Be aware not to take a backpack with any of electronic like a power bank. I had to throw money away or they tell you go down the street and rent a locker.

good advice

just realize you probably never make over a 1000 dollars a month. Just realize it would be more of an hobby or something to kill time. I see many teachers make less that and sometimes not receive pay for months. Do your research first. Best option would be international school in Bangkok. They do pay a lot better than Thailand government or public school. I have seen the cost of tuition for some of the international schools, it's like the cost of some colleges in the states. So I am sure they would pay good for highly educated skills
