If you've ever dreamed of teaching English abroad while immersing yourself in a rich and vibrant culture, Thailand may be the perfect destination. With its friendly locals, affordable cost of living, and strong demand for English teachers, Thailand has become one of the most popular countries for educators seeking international teaching experience.
However, moving abroad involves more than just packing your bags and booking a flight. Navigating the visa process, securing employment, and finding a place to live can be overwhelming. That’s why our all-in-one Teaching and Relocation Support Package exists, to take care of the logistics so you can focus on your new career and exciting life abroad.
Why Teach English in Thailand?
Thailand offers an incredible balance between career development and cultural adventure. Teaching positions are available throughout the country, in both urban and rural settings. Whether you're a recent graduate or looking for a mid-career change, Thailand provides a unique opportunity to:
Gain international teaching experience
Travel across Southeast Asia
Experience Thai culture and cuisine
Build confidence in a supportive, welcoming environment
Teaching English in Thailand: What Are the Requirements?
To qualify for most English teaching positions in Thailand, you must meet the following minimum requirements:
Hold a Bachelor's degree in any field
Possess a TEFL/TESOL certificate (120-hour online or in-person course)
Be a native English speaker from one of the following countries:
United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa
These qualifications allow you to apply for teaching jobs that offer a valid Non-Immigrant B Visa and, eventually, a Thai Work Permit—both legally required to teach in the Kingdom.
The Thai Teaching Visa Process Explained
Step 1: Obtain a TEFL/TESOL Certification
A 120-hour TEFL certificate is a standard requirement for obtaining a teaching job and work visa. We help you complete this certification online and offer assistance with assignments, including reviewing lesson plans before submission.
Step 2: Secure a Teaching Job Offer
Before applying for a Non-Immigrant B Visa, you must have a job offer from a licensed school in Thailand. Our program includes job placement support, with guaranteed interviews, resume editing, and custom cover letter writing to maximize your chances.
Step 3: Apply for the Non-Immigrant B Visa
With a job offer in hand, we guide you through applying for the Non-B visa, which allows you to legally enter Thailand for work. We help prepare your documents and handle submission procedures.
Step 4: Convert to a Thai Work Permit
After arrival, your school will support the process of converting your visa into a full work permit. We remain available to guide you through any employer requirements or government paperwork.
