Just read on another forum that theTCT are now only issuing "Provisional Licences" and not waivers. It said that those that have not finished, or even started, a degree are being turned down. That is it. Game over.

I remember the rules changing in February 2012, but is this something new or just a mix up with terminology?

Anyone???

I can't wait for 2015 and Thailand being the laughing stock of the AEC.

The information on their website was last updated February 1st (according to the website); so, no change.

I think the 'waiver' has always been called a provisional license on their website.

Like loaded said, The Teachers' Council of Thailand has always given it the name provisional teaching permit. It was the public that called it waivers.

Obvious. The new rules introduced on 3 April 2012 and retroactive since 1 February 2012 state the requirements below. The TCT will stick to it by now.

Requirements

1. Must not be less than 20 years of age.
   
2. Hold a Bachelor’s degree and benefits education which certified by either the Teachers’ Council of Thailand (TCT) or the Teacher Civil Service and Educational Personnel Commission (TEPC) or the Civil Service Commission (CSC) or shown in the list at The World of ALMANAC (the applicant may check your degree certification at www.ksp.or.th by selecting “professional license section, foreign teacher’s qualification check” or at the website of TEPC or CSC).
   
3. Having specific skills, abilities and knowledge needed for foreign teachers in the teaching and learning of foreign language curriculum.
   
4. Verification of a passing score on the Test of TOEIC (except those who come from 5 countries: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, The United States of America, Commonwealth of Australia, New Zealand and Canada) or passing score on the other foreign language proficiency test.
