Hi all,

Sorry if this question has been asked before...but I am leaving for Thailand next month and will be looking for a teaching job over there. If I get a tourist visa, can I still look for a job on that visa, since I wouldn't actually be working, just looking. Are employers going to be hesitant to hire me because of this? I would get a different visa, but I don't know if I will be able to since I am not going to Thailand for business or anything like that. Are there any other options for me besides the tourist visa? I am assuming that I would just go to a nearby country to get a proper work visa if they hired me anyway. Oh, and I am from the US if that is any help.

Thanks so much!

Yes the tourist visa is fine. Once you have paperwork for employment then a quick trip to obtain non immigrant B visa.
