So a simple call to TOT here in Ban Chang and a less than an hour I had my system upgraded for free. Not bad service as far as I can see,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Good on you. Cheers.

However, two weeks ago TOT gave me without any particular reason the ZTE modem/ wireless router as shown in the attachment. Will tell you the type later today.

Can anyone out there who has a system with the TOT supplied F620 confirm or contribute to this? Is the F620 I have faulty or did ZTE lie about the ports? Does TOT know about this? I can't wait to hear a TOT explain this issue. I want a ONU with 4 ports that work properly and as advertised.

I had the ZTE F620 as in the attached picture as there are several different ZTE F620 modem/ routers. I also have the 400/400 mbps package and I had around 400 mbps on all 4 LAN ports. My configuration is LAN1 desktop, LAN2 wireless AC1200 router (living room) and sometimes LAN3 laptop computer.

That's different to others, because Aidenai has passed all questions of the teacher's license tests that were pretty tough. Most of those who've tried have failed.

 

   Again, a Master's in English does not qualify for a teacher's license, I'd tried that a few years ago and they ( TCT) told me that it's not accredited.

The reason might be that they want to see a BA in education. 

Thanks, Isaanbike.

I reacted to a reply of guru and reports in the past that The Teachers' Council of Thailand wants teachers, applying for a temporary teaching permit or teacher license, to have a bachelor degree. Well, as written before, I only have a master degree.

As Isaanbike wrote, I didn't get my teacher license because of having a Grad. Dip. T.P. or PGCE(i) but because I passed all sections of the Professional Knowledge Tests when they were still conducted.

Master degrees that are accredited for a teacher license are AFAIK only master degrees that are master degrees in education or equivalent. Master degrees in English language or its aspects don't qualify.

If you have a bachelor's degree, you can walk into a teaching job any day of the week. It may not be a good job, but there are many average jobs around. 

@ tokyoblond - thank you very much for the clarification.

Guess what applies to Hua Hin will also apply to Phetchaburi as that Immigration office falls under Hua Hin.

Again, thanks for the heads up.

Haven't heard about this 'new' rule for teachers who are going to Hua Hin or Phetchaburi Immigration. Are you sure it's not related to the temporary teaching permit (aka provisional teaching permit aka waiver) from the Teachers' Council of Thailand? Those Immigration Offices are known for not giving extensions of stay based on employment as a teachers, exceeding the expiration date of the teaching permit.

I still don't understand this.  The OP has provided everything required as detailed in the posted regulations from above.  His MA and PGCEi should be academic (chortle).

OP's story is missing something. Either OP didn't bring his BA/ BSc or MA/ MSc or the aforementioned degree certificate wasn't certified by his embassy.

A PGCEi, PGCE, Grad. Dip. Ed./ TP or any equivalent is not a degree certificate as stipulated in the Immigration regulations and therefore rejected as such.

All info in English is on the SSO website.

Automatic loss of Dutch nationality

If you are an adult, you will automatically (by operation of law) lose your Dutch nationality if any of the following situations apply:

• You voluntarily acquire another nationality. Except if:
  • You were born in the country of your other nationality and lived there at the time you acquired that nationality.
  • As a minor, you lived in the other country whose nationality you acquired for an uninterrupted period of at least 5 years.
  • You acquire the nationality that your spouse or registered partner already has.

Last resort, perhaps, a DNA test of her and her two sisters?

 

Mac

Is this indeed a way and legally accepted to proof Thai citizenship? 

Thanks.

Thank you very much for your replies.

Thanks ubonjoe and mgb. I just heard that my friend's mother doesn't hold a Thai birth certificate. It wasn't issued 86 years ago. Apologise for the mis-information. Tomorrow I will get more information as to how it was noted that she was born in Thailand and were such was registered. Thanks for your help so far.

About 86 years ago the mother of a friend of mine was born in Thailand. Her birth certificate had 'mistakes' such as date of birth and even the last name. Allegedly the last name of her stepfather was used. Perhaps it has never been done properly. I don't have details on this. At the age of 18 she went to Dutch New Guinea. This was related to the Japanese occupation of Thailand and the many Dutch-Indies people who were in Thailand as POWs. She obtained the Dutch nationality as she married a Dutch national in Dutch New Guinea. She never claimed Thai nationality as at that time, things were really different. In 1962 she and her husband moved to The Netherlands which is still their residence. A couple of times a year she and her husband stay in Thailand for holiday. At this moment 2 of her sisters are still alive and living in Thailand. Both are holding the Thai nationality. My friend's mother is currently interested in obtaining Thai nationality if possible. Is there any possibility for my friend's mother to obtain the Thai Nationality after so many years?   

Thank you very much in advance.

My experience in our province - WP.1 max 2 weeks, WP.5 2-4 days.

As previously mentioned, you MUST submit a Police Clearance Certificate when applying for a non-immigrant B visa for teaching in Vientiane, Laos. Without it, you won't get one.

Anyone know how long this takes if you pick it up? I plan to go 27th as this is the only week day I can get there without missing any teaching- this would give me just under two weeks to get it back. Would this be okay? The site says up to 30 days so I'm panicking a bit...

@ NolaK. The Immigration Office in Dansingkhon accept 90 days address notifications in case that's more convenient for you.

Today a colleague of mine, a teacher in Phetchaburi, told me that a new Immigration Office/ Branch will be opened in Thayang. He was told about this by an Immigration Officer in Hua Hin. However, no actual date was mentioned.

Not possible. I asked the DO why? The official politely answered that the field is a 'choice-popup' which has the 77 Thai provinces and the names of 'all' countries of the world only.
