Hi all! I’m new to the group. We are looking to retire in about 3 years to Thailand. My husband gets both military pension and disability, which we can easily live off of, but I also wanted to maybe teach English, as a supplemental if possible. I’ve taught both high school and college level English. When we move, I would be 53 years of age. I’ve read Thailand has a strict retirement age, but wasn’t sure if that applied to expats. Any information is greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone! I need advice can someone help me answer this please. If I’m planning to move to Thailand in June with my 2 small children should I obtain a visa now or once I arrive? And what visa do my kids need?

I would like to teach English but I don’t have a bachelor degree only a TEFL Certificate. I’m not sure if I should go for a work visa or Educational visa. 🤷🏽‍♀️

And lastly, should I book a one way ticket if I plan to stay long term.✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Thanks in advance!!!

Does anyone have any advice on teaching English as a second language in Thailand?

I've been told that Thailand has local programs for TEFL certification, which also offer cultural orientation. Any recommendations of those?

New to the site and from what I have seen I will probably get some great advice.

Looking at moving to Thailand to be with my girlfriend and looking to get married.

Im 53 currently working as a prison officer.

She owns her own home and runs her own business.

What is the best way for me to get out there? I would also like to work if possible.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Good evening. English, over 55.

I'm hoping to move to Chiang Mai area in October/ November 2024. I already have TEFL qualification, level 3. In Chiang Mai I intend to then take level 5 TEFL. My intention is to teach English online and at language schools. I do not have a degree. Any advice on best visa to obtain initially and then when in Thailand gratefully received.

I'm considering moving to thailand for a year. I have a pension that pays me enough to qualify for the LTR wealthy pensioner visa from what I understand. Do you have to be 50 years old to qualify for this? I'm 41, if this disqualifies me, are there other options to stay for around a year to see if I want to stay longer? Visa runs, muay thai visa, enroll my daughter in school etc. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi everyone, I'm Dita from Indonesia. I currently hold a diploma and am planning to apply for jobs in Thailand. Do companies in Thailand generally accept diplomas, or is it true that work permits in Thailand require only a Bachelor's degree?

Hi,

I would like to know what options are available... I have been offered to help out at my Thai friend's shop/restaurant and help the staff there with their English. Is it possible to get a volunteer visa for this kind of work? Or do I need a proper work permit? Is it possible to do this work legally?

Thanks in advance🙏
