Well his school who he's been working for for 2yrs asked him to stay on but he wanted to get a visa and WP, cause things are getting harder at the borders for long stayers. The school said that they needed him to have a degree for a WP, then they mentioned getting one from the internet!

He got one and hey presto visa and WP last year, no prob's...

Now the dilemma..he's just gone to another school and they said to him that they will need to send his papers to Bangkok for checking, not at the local labour offices.

So his problem is that he's worried they'll find out it's a 'life degree' his girlfriends expexting their 1st child and he's worried about being kicked out of the country....are his choices unemployment or is it wide spread that this will be the case for all degrees to be scrutinised in future...

And I'm sure this may affect a few people in the LOS?????

My mate said a funny thing to me regarding this "Simon do you remember your teachers from school" "Yes...and some of them were complete w*nkers" "Did you like or learn much in their classes" "No, not really" "well my thai kids love me, and work hard and enjoy the class"

I do feel really sorry for him as there aren't many other options for him apart from working illegally, and he doesn't want to risk going back to that.

So does anyone know if this is to be come standard across the board or if he can move somewhere else in thailand and not get caught as it were.

P.S I know he should've stayed at his old school...but hey them's the dice.

He won't post on ajarn.com cos he's on there and his Thai teaching mates use the forum...hence his post on TL.

cheers for any ideas.
Depending on what levels he's teaching it isn't absolutely necessary to have a degree. The education department will consider potential teachers without, they may have to take a test though. A colleague of mine who was teaching without a degree was employed by an egency, however the school has since employed him directly and provided him with all the necessary documents, and a personal reference. He has since obtained his teaching certificate and work permit.
