Martouf Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 last year when I applied for a non-B visa it was for a teaching english at a government school and I submitted a letter from the Ministry of Education. Next week I need to go to Vientiane and apply for a new non-B but this time the teaching position is with a private school - I contacted my friend at the Ministry of Education who said they don't need to do a letter because it is a private school. Having looked at the non-B requirements it refers to the letter from the MoE and does not distinguish between a government and private school. Does anyone have any experience of the above ? do I need the letter from the MoE when its a private school ? thanks for help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried to telephone the consulate in Vientiane but no answer! Ubonjoe or anyone else what do you think about the education office response ?

ubonjoe Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 It does not fall under OBEC. It falls under the Office of the Private Education Commission as stated in the info I posted from the MFA website. Contact the school about it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contact the school about it, Thanks Ubon - before I was thinking our local Education office covered everything. The problem with the college is that they have never done this before, hence I keep going around in circles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
