Considering that an associate degree consits of 60 credit hours only, you do not seem to qualify. A BA, ( usually 120 hours) is needed, no matter in what field. If you're not a NES, you'll also need a TOEIC examination test score of not less than 600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It often happens that the school superiors do not know much about foreigner's degrees. You can't apply for a Non-B without the paperwork from your school, the educational area the school belongs to, copies of degree and transcripts, etc.. See Thailand as a country with a fence around and there's always a door opening for those who want to start teaching. Schools can also hire you being a teacher's assistant, a trainer, or a similar, often fancy title. Then you bypass the Teacher's council of Thailand's regulations and you don't need a provisional teacher's license and you'll be able to receive a Non-B visa to be legal. If I were you, I'd not work on a tourist visa, because it seems that the immigration is currently doing a sort of a crackdown on foreigners. Talk to your school and see what they will tell you. Best of luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenny2017 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 OP, you might want to look into an upgrade of your Associate somewhere in Thailand, where you can work, study online and attend a few one day face 2 face classes. Once you've signed up and started the course, I guess you'd get a provisional license good for two years.

How about if I have marry Non O visa and can I get work permit with this Non 0 marry visa with associate's degree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 No. You will be able to stay in the country legally, but a Work Permit will be out of your reach for jobs in the formal education system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Not with schools under the OBEC. Where you live may make a difference because there is a great deal of inconsistency in how the labor department operates from province to province. If you work as a teacher, it will technically be illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
