Upstairs office... they don't do visas.

B.Ed and State certification as a teacher?

You will have NO PROBLEMS getting a proper job with visa and work permit if you want it.

On-line work is also decent and you can get pretty good fiber connections here for cheap. I have mbps and pay 900 baht/month (unlimited data).

Shie La Lyn > If you have an Aussie husband then you only need an exit (itinerary for a land exit to Malaysia will suffice). Then sign a waiver when you check in absolving the airline if you are denied entry.

Thai immigration is unlikely to do anything other than stamp you in (30-day no visa entry).

A bigger problem for you is if you do not have a CFO certificate in your passport. You will be offloaded and not allowed to depart the Philippines with a foreign husband.

If you already have your CFO certificate then no worry.

Either get a single entry (60-day) tourist visa or fly in and take the 30-day no-visa entry. Either of them can be extended for another 30 days.

Once you are here you can decide what you want to do.

.

You can work on-line and stay as a tourist (6 months to 1 year without a problem) or you can find a classroom job and change to a non-B visa and work permit.

.

If you are hoping to get a regular classroom job then bring your original degree, transcripts, a state or FBI check and an open mind (this isn't the same as home).

If you don't have a degree then you won't be getting a work permit. Join the rest of the digital nomads in CM.

If you are flying out and not going to overstay then no issue.

Just leave.

It is not like a land border crossing. They will NOT stop or hassle you at the airport on departure (since you are not coming back any time soon).

If you spend a year learning Thai and can't have a simple conversation then yes, they may give you problems or require evidence of attendance at school.

There is no "fail" in Thailand.

That said, sometimes immigration will "test" your Thai at visa renewal time.
