Special Thai Project - TESOL Course in Chiang Mai, Phuket - Thailand

Visa

Non-Immigrant B Visa Sponsorship & Assistance.
All costs related to acquiring the Non-Immigrant B Visa will originally be the teacher’s responsibility.

Most teachers will be able to obtain their Non-Immigrant B Visa at a Thai consulate or embassy in their home country prior to their departure. If you fail to get your Non Immigrant B visa then as next option you must try to get a 60 days Tourist Visa from the Thai embassy in your country.

We aim at sending the entire set of relevant Visa papers to the respective Thai Embassy / Consulate for processing, 1 month in advance, before the ESL teachers land. Therefore, those who have travel plans elsewhere before landing in Thailand may not get the Non Immigrant B visa from the third country with the papers sent for the Visa! (If you are traveling in Asia before landing in Thailand). The alternative is to enter Thailand with 60-days Tourist Visa (30 days Visa on arrival is not recommended) and eventually get it transformed in Thailand, else appear for a Visa-run. The charges involved would approximately sum up to 5000 – 6000 baht.

 

Important Note:-

* The Phuket Group startign from 29th September, please note you are going to teach in a school group called Sri Siam School; this school operates as ESL providers to Thai Government & Private Schools all over Thailand. This Group will also give you a specialized 5 days training in Bangkok after the TESOL in Phuket. Recently we have noticed that when you apply for the Non Immigrant B visa in your country and also get the same, in your visa the school name is mentioned where you are going to teach. This means you are bound by law to teach in the same school and that school location only. If you are not doing that after landing in Thailand then you need to go for canceling the visa and apply for fresh visa again from the nearest Thai embassy. This is a big hassle, and to avoid this hassle we have worked out a solution from last semester.

You are requested to apply for a simple 6O day's tourist Visa from your home country Thai embassy or any other country where you are presently traveling. The School will convert your visa from Tourist Visa to Non Immigrant B visa in Thailand itself. This will not only solve the problem of canceling visa, but will also allow you to convert in country instead of again going out of Thailand. Secondly the cost factor also. The cost of Tourist Visa and conversion comes to much less!

Work Permit
Schools will pay for the processing fees in obtaining the Work Permit for teachers signing a longer contract. Teachers are responsible for the cost of, supplying with, any required copies of educational documents, passport pages, health certificate, and pictures. The application for Work Permits cannot be made until a Non-Immigrant B Visa is secured. Applications will begin roughly 2 weeks after teaching begins.

*In the case of changing school; if the teacher has already received the work permit but prefers to change to a new school (different province), the cost of obtaining the work permit for the new school will be the teacher’s responsibility.*

NB : Please make sure you have the following ready or can make the following ready before applying our Special Project:
