many schools will still employ new teachers as long as they have a bachelor’s degree.

Check LinkedIn for any possible field matches but it is difficult any way you look at it. Teaching is an option if you have a bachelor’s degree in any field and are a native English speaker. They start hiring again in force come April.

Maybe take a trip down to immigration with a copy of this email and see what they say.

A Bachelors degree is required to legally teach in Thailand irrespective of your experience in SA. People have been hired to teach without but usually from in country. It’s still not legal.

Can’t vouch for them but saw this in my feed a few minutes ago.

Even though I appreciate all of the knowledge from all of the moderators I especially trust the information given by

Not assuming anything about your finances but if they’re very good you might consider the LTR visa for wealthy individuals rather than the retirement visa.

cheap sheet quality and usually can only get a fitted sheet with no top sheet like westerners are comfortable with.

Work permit comes after Non B visa is obtained.

I’m assuming by short term housing you mean temporary. If it’s a hotel then they should file a TM30 electronically. Not wanting to make the long term commitment until all your ducks are in a row makes sense. When you find a longer term rental condo etc then often the landlord will file electronically or you’ll have to spend some time down at immigration with all your document “proof”. Sometimes the landlord will accompany you but it can be easy or it can be a hassle. I’d recommend finding some place close to where you’ll studying. No, you don’t need to update your visa application but you do need to notify immigration each time you move and you’re supposed to notify them each time you leave and return to the country but some offices have different requirements and don’t require it if you’re still at the same address. It can be complicated at times.
