How long to get a teaching waiver?

[Martouf]

How long should it take to receive the waiver from the TCT once they receive the application form?

[lostinisaan]

It doesn't take longer than 14 days now. If you don't receive it, there's something wrong and you should get in touch with them.

Best option is to go there in person, or send a Thai teacher/administrator from your school.

Thanks I will still to the school in the morning - it has now been 3 1/2 weeks but they did mine and several renewals at the same time

Reading between the lines, I'd assume that you did not get it yet. Please see:

Sending an email and waiting for response could tame too long. If nobody from your school's getting in touch with them, go there in person, but please take all documents with you.-

Good luck with the gloves wearing guy at counter eight for foreigners....

My colleague went to Laos back in late May to get his Non-B and applied immediately after his return. (He applied by mail with help from our senior supervisor, in charge of this matter)

After 7+ weeks nothing had happened so my colleague asked our supervisor to call and check up on the process. Turned out that they were in need of a translation of his BA degree. Alright, 2nd batch was sent off. At this time he had learned about the TCT's website where you can track the process. Up until few days before his visa would expire the status expectedly changed, but now they said that he was missing a degree + Toeic test.

Long story short - TCT had misplaced his docs making it look like a completely new application. +/- he of course went to try his extension (waiting 11hrs) but got declined, not because of the missing waiver but due to a post receipt from the 2nd batch. Our supervisor had to spent a full day on the phone with TCT to finally get the waiver faxed. 1500bt in overstay + his waiver he could finally smile.

I'll go there in person next time.

If anybody doesn't get it back within three weeks, there's something wrong with the documentation.

It's always better to go there in person, if there's a missing document, they also accept a fax from a school.

I had this issue a couple of years back, when applying for a provisional, being on a Non-O. They wanted to see my marriage certificate, which is pretty much understandable.

Phoned my wife, she'd sent it within an hour and all was fine.

And never trust what any "coordinators", or HRM are telling you. They could lose face by telling you the truth.

Just recently, they'd sent a Filipino to Khurusapha, together with two application forms of "native English speakers."

He came back having his own provisional and a bunch of lies that they'd denied the native English speaking teachers' application. Both applications denied for the same reasons?

One didn't send his transcript, okay a reason not to give him the docu, but the other one only needed a stamp from school, which would have been easily fixed, if they'd let the guys drive to Bangkok as well.

It turned out that the Filipino had made that bs up. Always nice to look better than the "white overpaid monkeys."

Watch your back, when teaching here....

I finally got it. On the Thai teachers council website (not the English version) it confirms when it is issued.

There wasn't a problem but it still took just over 4 weeks

The link to check if issued is

www.ksp.or.th/ksp2013/home/index.php

Then click on "check foreign license"

If it comes up saying no data scroll down the page but your name etc will be in Thai ... And probably not the correct translation
