What Changed In Early 2012?

What exactly changed in 2012 compared to 2011 regarding getting a Non-B/work permit/extension/license?

[utalkin2me]

I think what changed was all your shady paperwork caught up to you.

[dirKNirk]

Is that your way of saying you have no clue as to what's changed?

[utalkin2me]

That is my way of saying it seems like you have some shady paperwork you are paranoid about, and it caught up to you.

[dirKNirk]

Is that you're way of saying you still have no clue as to what's changed?

So, what has exactly changed in your employment in 2012 compared with 2011?

The school's budget had them switch to Filipino teachers as opposed to NES.

Still no answer to the OP.

I guess, that's the answer to your OP then.

[dirKNirk]

If you think that, then you didn't read the OP.

Scroll up and take another look and try to give a decent answer that addresses the topic.

Okay then.

THE CHANGE from 2011 to 2012 was that The Teachers' Council of Thailand issued written requirements for the Provisional Teaching Permit a.k.a. waiver. Already in 2008 Immigration required TCT documents as stated in Police Order 777/2551 and 305/2551 and in 2010, The Ministry of Labour required them. However, until April 2012, there weren't written TCT requirements for the Provisional Teaching Permit. In September 2012, the requirements got updated. The update was merely about which countries were native English speaking countries. Ireland got added to it after many complaints. South Africa stays a non-native English speaking country.

The main thing in the TCT requirements was the necessity of holding an university degree linked to accreditation/ verification by the TEPC and OSCS's database. With this, the TCT declared the OSCS's database as THE online accreditation tool for other government bodies such as Immigration and Labour in regards to employment in the teaching profession under OBEC, OHEC and OVEC. Not sure about the ONIE.

Hope this was a decent answer for you.

That's what I was looking for
