Thread: Waiver permit and non B extention

Hi everyone.

Can anyone tell me if you are a teacher at a private school do you need a teaching license waiver permit in order to apply for your non B visa to be extended for 12 months. I know this is the case if you are employed at a government school. This question is not for me but for a colleague

Regards

Andy

If the private school your colleague is working in, is providing formal education, i.e. basic education, then the teacher license requirements set by The Teachers' Council of Thailand apply.
