Not every 24 hours. When I remember. Usually every 2 to 3 days.

When I said available everywhere, I meant anyone can make it. The beauty of using loin is you can make as much or as little as you need.

Decent cold cuts are available everywhere. As with another poster. I cure pork loin. This is available everywhere. For a KG of loin; 50g salt, 15g sugar, black pepper, 2g of pink salt (can get it online). Mix it together, wrap the loin in cling film or put in a plastic bag or container. Leave in fridge for 7 to ten days. Done. Cook as you wish. You can add other ingredients to your cure. I like to add crushed coriander seeds and cloves. Not too much, a gram or 2, just for a little background flavour. I've even made pastrami. A little more difficult with the cooking aspect due to the toughness of Thai beef.

Language centres are not governed by OBEC. Neither are universities. Teachers teaching in these places do not need permission from TCT. This means the checks are not as stringent if done at all. I know guys working at low end universities with questionable degrees. They have work permits. That's possible as the checks are not as in depth or not done at all. They are deemed "legal" by employer, immigration and labour office. My comment " it's not required legally" was in reference to OHEC checks. Some universities likely do check with them, others don't. It's not needed for visa,extension or work permit. As we all know, here in Thailand it's not the same everywhere. That's the conflicting info. I refer to "some" others seem to refer to "all".

Air fryers are great. I love a roast chicken in the air fryer. I turn it upside down with 20 minutes to go to get the underside crispy too. I now also use my air fryer to make my home cured hams.

More fool you.

It's not a requirement legally. As I said, higher end Universities will carry out due diligence. Asking OHEC for help could be part of that. It's not an issue, with regards to issuing visas, extensions orcwork permits, if they don't. Hence, many don't bother, especially if they are in a hurry to recruit.

That would be your, flawed, opinion. So, please show me the rules I've stated in EVERY sentence are incorrect. Let's start with KR2 needed along with photos to prove marriage is real.

Up to date KR2 has not always been required, wife present at immigration has not always been required, proof of origin of income has not always been required, keeping 800k in bank for 3 months after extension issued and 400k for ever has not always been required, as examples. Most of the above rules were implemented to stop those trying to bend the rules.

How will she get UK social security?

The bad guys do make it more difficult. More and more checks are now required due to bad practices. Scam marriages : Immigration now require a KR2 no less than 24 hrs old. Photos of house, witnesses, home visits. Wife needed at immigration. Return after one month. No money: before one could borrow from a friend for a day or two. Now it's needed between 2 and 5 months. In case of retirement, 400k forever. Bank book and letter from bank on day of application. Monthly income: many more checks now made with regards to origin. Extensions of stay are far more difficult than they were years ago because of the bad guys.

I've never had a problem. 21 years on Non B and Non O. Meet the criteria, get the extension.

A degree of some kind will usually be required, certainly for working at a University. Remember, when saying "University" we are generally talking lower end. Radjapat for example. Top end universities will do their own due diligence. It's not unheard of that language centres will provide the fake degree yo get the teacher a work permit. Outside of TCT, many checks made will usually check the accreditation of the University, rather than the authenticity of the degree or the degree holder.

Depends how many years he paid in.

Universities and language centres don't need authorisation from TCT. Those without degrees or with fake degrees will teach in these places as they know, generally, no checks are made. I was teaching in Thai government schools prior to the creation of TCT. Extensions of stay and work permits issued immediately. No checks made.

Degrees are scrutinised by TCT prior to a licence or waiver being issued. That is at the stage prior to visiting labour dept for a work permit. The labour dept, upon receipt of authorisation from TCT, will take it as read the degree is legitimate You are right about years gone by. Prior to the need for authorisation from TCT, degrees and their authenticity were rarely checked.

Quite possibly because you've been grandfathered, having had a licence for a long time.

Then you'll know the TCT often ask for sealed transcripts.

If you read the trail of comments you'll know what I meant. Marriage extensions are not so easy for those trying to circumnavigate the rules. I have heard of stamps going in passports without being entered on the system by rogue IOs. These would not be valid.

Not required for mattiage extensions.

What bull (deleted) exactly? I guess you mean "No,(comma inserted) immigration rules are based on melanin and skin pigmentation."

Sure they are. Usually for teachers at Universities and language centres. To get a fake degree past the watchful eyes of TCT is difficult. Not impossible, but difficult. There used to be talk that they firstly used a list of world, accredited universities. I know one guy who had a legitimate degree from an accredited, well known and well respected UK university (Sheffield Hallam) rejected, as it wasn't on TCT's list.

For marriage extensions it is not quite as easy. Applications are sent to the regional HQ for approval. Was that bypassed by the IO being bribed? Without knowing how much "fixing" has been done by the agent, there is no knowing how legitimate, or dodgy, the stamps in the OP's/OP's friend's passport might be.

Strangely, I think you'll find that run around is limited to degrees from USA. I had my British degree accepted by having an original transcript sent directly, in a sealed envelope, to TCT. I know others who have also. TCT:Teachers Council of Thailand. It is they that do the checking and accepting. Those that are suggesting it's the school that check are about 25 years out of date. When degrees have been accepted, TCT will issue a teaching licence or 2 year waiver. Without this, a work permit won't be issued. Those without a degree will very likely be working illegally. Universities and language centres are different as they are not governed by OBEC. Teachers at such places do not need TCT approval to teach

You clearly don't know the TCT rules.
