Hi Mark. So the platform I work for is outside the UK. The students pay the platform and the platform pays the tutors. Most will ask for the TEFL. I did mine during Covid as I was sat in my room doing nothing so I got it done in one very long night with only 2 coffees!!

I bought my TEFL from Groupon for about £15 and it was acceptable so Id advise getting that. Also you have a BA so there will be plenty of options for you to pick and choose an online platform that suits you

Anonymous participant 745 sound and Im from England FYI and its not so much the amount, although Id rather keep every satang! Its more about the paperwork, I know what theyre like with anything paperwork related over there and Id like to avoid that like the plague!

Anonymous participant 346 Brilliant thanks for that confirmation. While you're here, relating to the 180 days in a calender year . . . to me, the calendar year runs from Jan to Dec, so if I arrived in say October, is that when MY 180 days commences and as such, will need to exit by April?

Anonymous participant 346 So Im OK to stay 180 days, leave for a night or longer, and get another 180 days for 5 years? Ive read about border bounces rather than immigration. Id rather border bounce as I like a change of scenery every so often anyway

As for taxation, this does concern me as I wasnt aware I would need to pay tax on my earnings that I make outside Thailand and transferring money from WISE or PP etc is just what tourists do, or am I getting my wires crossed?

Or does the 180 day limit cancel out the need to pay tax? Cheers

Anonymous participant 745 Thanks agent 745, my students are all outside Thailand and the company that pays me is also outside Thailand, which has brought up another question which I will comment in reply to the 180 day situation with agent 346 😆
