    Did Krusupa change the rules in the past 12 months?

    in Teaching in Thailand Forum

    Posted

    I am a native speaker and have bachelor and master degrees  from a UK university.  

     

    I have had a teachers license waiver before and my masters transcript has always been accepted.  However my new school is saying that you must send to Krusupa the bachelor transcript as well - rules still state that a bachelor is the minimum and I can see no rule changes.

     

    Has anyone experienced any problem using only masters transcript when applying for the license waiver ?

     

    thanks 

    Confused now about tourist and non-0 in Laos

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    He can enter using Visa Exemption and apply for a Non ‘O’ visa at immigration as a prerequisite to applying for a 1 year extension of stay. 
     
    He would need at least 15 days left (maybe 21) of his 30 day tourist (VE) entry to apply for the Non ‘O’


    Unfortunately Nong Khai Immigration won’t do it because we are close to Vientiane and a Thai Embassy !!! But Udon Thani which is only 45km away will !!!

    He was allowed back into Thailand today on a 30 day visa on arrival - the 800k plus is already in the bank so tomorrow he can go to Immigration tomorrow in Nong Khai and start to apply for a 12 month non-o retirement extension - yes ?

    I thought needed at least a tourist visa to do it and not a visa on arrival

    Social security refund

    What social security payments are being made to afford this benefit and is there a minimum contribution?
     
    Are there any other social security benefits? Retirement perhaps LOL

    I have paid 750 Baht per month for the past 5 years and the school has paid the same - this i believe is the maximum.... after a minimum number of payments there is a pension after 60 but we couldn’t live off it !

    This is on behalf of a Belgium friend who went today to Savanakhet in Laos - ideally he wanted a non-o based on being over 50, he had proof of 800k in his Thai bank but did not have proof that he was retired.

     

    Savanakhet told him no to a non- o, exactly why I don’t know but I suspect it was because he can’t prove he is retired.

     

    Tourist visa they said no to because he has had one in the past 12 months but this was from Belgium NOT from Laos.

     

    He has a few VOA from Bangkok airports in the past 12 months and then always went back to Belgium.

     

    What is he meant to do ? He has the money in the bank no problem but he needs a visa to get a 12 month extension at immigration in nong Khai.

     

    Apart from using an agent in Thailand are any other neighboring countries easier now??

     

    I would appreciate any advice.

     

    p.s he was at Savanakhet consultant at 7.30am and it was already busy !

    Non o visa (retirement) Vientiane

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Thanks Ubon

    I didn’t know about the proof of income as my previous non o’s have been based on having Thai children

    I’ll pass the information on

    I’ve just thought whilst I should be ok with my non-b this year, last year when I got the non-o visa because of having 2 thai dependents - I am recognized as the legal father - there was no financial proof, medical or police clearance required - is this still the same ?

    Thanks

    Non o visa (retirement) Vientiane

    You need proof of 800k baht in the bank or proof of 65k baht income, police clearance certificate and medical certificate to apply for a single entry non-o visa for being 50 or over in Vientiane.
    Savannakhet will do one without the certificates but do want proof of retirement along with the financial proof.

    Thanks Ubon

    Teaching at a University

    in Teaching in Thailand Forum

    Posted

    I have done a search but nothing easily came up.

     

    I have been teaching in Thailand for several years and have recently been offered a job at a University. I seem to recall someone said to myself many years ago that if you are working at a University then it is outside of Krusapa authority and no teaching license waiver is needed - is this correct ?

     

    Before anyone asks, I do still have 18 months on my current waiver and with a masters degree I am qualified to teach at a university

     

    Many thanks

    Filing a complaint for unfair dismissal

    You need to search more on fixed term contracts. They are only allowed under certain conditions.
    My wife finished two contracts with the same company over 7 years and at the end had to go to the labour court for severence payment. They based their findings on a 7 year period of unbroken tax records and awarded severence.

    I’m a teacher - I have read several reports and one seems possible. I commented because I am curious !!
