Hi, my name is Sean Graham on behalf of Expert Village, sponsored by goturnkey.com. Now, what do you need to be able to teach in Thailand? The first thing you will need is a valid B visa in your passport. Okay. Now, if you do actually come to the country without a B visa on, say, a tourist visa, you can go find the work and then the school will give you the necessary paperwork to be able to leave the country and get the B visa. The next thing you need to be able to do this is a valid degree. Now the degree could be in any subject. And it doesn't have to be English. But it must be a BA. You need your transcripts to go along with that and a letter of guarantee. Now, especially, if you don't have a degree in English, you will need a TEFL certificate or, or/and a TEFL diploma. Now something else that's becoming quite strict here now is that they're actually starting to ask for a police report from your own country. So you must acquire a police report before coming. And last, but not least, you need two copies of a health certificate that is valid within six months. Okay, that's what you need to teach in Thailand. Thank you.
