If the bike is not taxed for three years, the Green Book and registration become invalid. Then you have to start the whole process over again, applying for new green book and new number plates.

 

I only found this out last week because a friend  returned for the first time since pre-Covid and his bike has just been sitting there unused in his absence

Sadly I might be in the same spot. Bought a 2nd hand bike, turns out it hasn't been taxed ever since the guy before me bought it. I got the gbook and some thai documents but all the registration shops have been telling me its either I need a truck load of documents they don't even mention what they are, or just call it quits and have the bike in limbo lol.

Them lyrics aint "no problem". lol

2) If you completed your bachelors of education or teaching qualification (Masters of Education, PGCE, PGCEi, St Robert Diploma etc) before 2019, you can apply for a 5-year license without having to do the test.

Hmm, kinda lost on this one (here in Rayong though). My wife has a bachelor's in education way before 2019 and our HR insisted that she takes KSP's (or back home) licensure test. Talking to our district KSP branch didnt do much as they weren't able to communicate with me at all. She's on her 4th waiver.

I didn't ask them about waivers. But the general rule is up to 3 waivers, i.e., 6 years. After 3 it seems to be at their discretion on a case-by-case basis. I've read cases here where Khurusapha granted teachers a 4th or 5th waiver due to teachers being in the middle of their qualification, teachers who finished their qualification and are waiting for the next test, or even teachers who failed the test. 

 

It's best to have an exit strategy in place if you're on your 3rd waiver since no one can really guarantee what will happen after that.

I am gonna be (hopefully) on my 4th waiver this year, I finished my certification/1-year course on top of my bachelor's (IT) just a few months in to 2020. Had I've known of this change coming up I would've done my studies wayyyy back. Oh well.

Even Filipinos, Bhutanese and other low-wage NNES Asians need to sit the exams.

Not unless they have their licenses from their home country. This year we're gonna take our own exam from the Ph and take it back here to Th, since there's no way I'm gonna wait for the TCT just to fail lol.

Get ready for Thailand to move towards a future without any foreign teachers. Apparently, that is what the government wants. I cannot just leave here, but if were unattached I'd move to Siberia right now.

Its either that or they're getting rid of their old folks and gonna take in the new generation of NNES (or willing NES) with more qualifications and less pay.

38 foreigners took the test. All failed.

Next chance might be in six months.

My Polish friend decided he had had enough of Thailand's BS and moved to Yakutsk, Siberia, where salaries apparently start around 60k baht.

Well aint those bleak numbers lol.

Just to double check: is there any course out there that excempts you from this test?

 

Or does every education graduate from 2020 onwards have to take this test?

 

What about an M.Ed?

It appears that even if you've done your studies prior to the 2020 implementation, you're still required to present a teaching license (either from passing the TCT test or one from your home country). That's what I've been hearing from our local TCT office though.

by the way, I believe the recent tct test results are out, anybody here passed?

I think everyone graduating in education post-2019 has to take the test now. I don't think the course matters.

 

Or maybe someone else knows? If you do an M.Ed are you expect from the test?

"Third, in the case of foreigners or a person of Thai nationality using foreign qualifications wishing to apply for a teacher's license Must meet the rules and conditions The following conditions are met: 1) Certified for teaching professional experience as required by the Board 2) Have a Work Permit 3) Have proof of residency in Thailand 4) Pass a test and assessment of technical competency teaching profession in accordance with the rules and procedures prescribed by the Committee. For Thai nationals, the qualifications in items 2 and 3 are exempted. This will not affect the rights of those who have graduated from a degree or educational certificate recognized by the Teachers Council of Thailand before the academic year 2019, including those who have the right to apply for a license. practice as a teacher before this regulation comes into force" (Google Translate)

Last line really gutted me, my paperwork was ready but the situation overshadowed it lol

Thank you for this. I was actually familiar with this since there was a recent survey sent to us by HR. No follow up though and they're expecting us to go DIY.

This would be interesting though find out

So far the TCT office here at my district has been going back and forth with the requirements. They've been telling teachers that though on paper they are qualified under the criteria listed on TCT's website, they're still required to get a license from their home country. Considering the situation right now back there, this aint gonna happen easily. 

Some Chinese teachers I know have done the TCT test several times already, haven't got to pass it yet.
