countrymanto Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Greeting: I am trying to find out what kind of Visa I should get if I am coming to Thailand to search for a teaching position. I am an American. I am currrently in China where I have been teaching for the last five years. After visiting Thailand a few months ago, I have decided that I would like to to come to Thailand and teach. So I am wondering what kind of Visa I should get. If I come on a Tourist Visa it is good for only 30 days and it might take me longer than that to find a suitable teaching position. Any information you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

lopburi3 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 A tourist visa is the best you can get and it provides a 60 day stay and can be extended for another 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lite Beer Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 We are talking about a Tourist Visa obtained from a Thai Embassy or Consulate, not the 30 days you get stamped when you enter without a Visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne You can get a one year multiple visa at certain Embassies or Consulates but none will do so on a job basis in SE Asia countries. If you are traveling to the States, the best option is to get this there or a tourist visa in SE Asia. www.sunbeltasiagroup.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
