TEFL Jobs in Thailand - Visa and Work Permit
Visa Assistance
Non-Immigrant B Visa Sponsorship & Assistance
All costs related to acquiring the Non-Immigrant B Visa will
originally be the teacher’s responsibility.
Most teachers will be able to obtain their Non-Immigrant B Visa at a
Thai consulate or embassy in their home country prior to their
departure. All other teachers may enter the Kingdom of Thailand on a
free 30 day transit Visa, and obtain the Non-Immigrant B Visa in
Laos (Malaysia for South Africans).
Teachers who are unable to obtain the Visa prior to departure, who
are attending the training/orientation course, will be assisted by
our staff during a 2-3 day trip to Laos to obtain a 90 day single
entry Non-Immigrant B Visa. Average costs for this trip in previous
years have ranged from 5000-6000 baht per teacher. (This includes
all transportation, accommodation, Laos Visa, Thai Non-Immigrant B
Visa). The estimated costs for the trip will be prepared and
teachers must pay costs in advance. If the trip is completed under
the estimated budget, the remaining monies will be returned to each
teacher upon return to Bangkok. Teachers will be expected to follow
the schedule and plan arranged by us. All travel and accommodation
plans will be arranged and prepared by us.
Teachers arriving following the completion of the
training/orientation course may not be accompanied by a member of
our staff in obtaining the Non-Immigrant B Visa in Laos. However, an
information package will be provided, complete with Thai and English
instructions. Also, teachers will be assisted and accompanied up
until their departure at Bangkok’s Morchit bus station. All teachers
must have a Non-Immigrant B Visa before they are able to begin
teaching.
Work Permit
Schools will pay for the processing fees in obtaining the Work
Permit for teachers signing a longer contract. Teachers are
responsible for the costs of, supplying with, any and required
copies of educational documents, passport pages, health certificate,
and pictures. The application for Work Permits cannot be made until
a Non-Immigrant B Visa is secured. Applications will begin roughly 2
weeks after teaching begins.
*In the case of changing school; if the teacher already received the
work permit but prefer to change to new school (differences
province), the cost of obtain the work permit for the new school
will be in the teacher’s responsibility.*
