look into BOI and just keep an eye out. Things are changing so quickly they can’t keep up

oh of course. I was simple saying if you have a very good grasp of the English language then you don’t need a TEFL. TBH it all boils down to if the student likes you. 80% of people looking for tutoring are looking to improve their conversational English anyway, so there is no need to be an expert with punctuation.

I have tutored many people in the past, mainly Polish, and it’s not hard. You just talk to them and correct them when they make a mistake and explain why we don’t say that certain thing that way.

If you want to learn to be good enough to teach conversational English online then I don’t think a TEFL will help either, firstly it’s a lot about your personality and secondly you’re better off just researching yourself.

Being American he isn’t a native speaker 😂

I’ve found TEFL makes very little difference when you come from the country of origin.

More money to be made tutoring online and once again don’t need a TEFL.

Not only this but the DTV visa allows for online nomads, which is the way go, that gives you 5 years.

You’ll need 500k baht in a bank account that you just don’t touch, then your home free

@Wayne ********

can I only stay in Thailand 180 a year on visa exemption. I’m coming up to the end of it and am heading to a help center tomorrow.

Do you think it’s possible to apply for / change my exemption to a 1 year non b visa? I just can’t find the info

I’ve read something about it I’m sure. That’s why I said I believe.

I’ve just recently been doing a bit of research to get a visa myself.

You can get someone to be a guarantor on the 500k balance I believe

@Bart *************

Is there a limit as to how many days you can spend in Thailand per year?

I can’t find any modern info online. The original comment was what I was lead to believe by the information provided by our wonderful google.
