Thread: Immigration checks on University teachers

Notsure why it is so difficult for you to follow..
Work Permits are nominally tied to one location.
Schools submit lists of teachers with WPs, not lists of illegal teachers.

Then, what about those raids ? How are "they" going to proceed ?
Raid the school, take a look at the original diploma (which no one carries) and decide, on the spot, which one is a fake and which one is real ?

This process has been going on for some months already. As others here have already pointed out, the MoE has been checking the validity of every degree document to verify its authenticity. Anything remotely suspicious is flagged for investigation.

The only teachers that can be arrested right away, if and when those raids take place, are the ones working without a WP and a proper visa.

Almost correct. Anyone found teaching without a WP or on a tourist visa will be arrested. Those whose documents are suspect will be given the option of declaring them false, and earning a lesser penalty, or they will have to prove the documents legality and if they can't 3 months in prison.
All of the above will be blacklisted.

We certainly do Olly.

Well if they're checking "every degree document" why would there be the need to flag anything suspicious? They either come back clean or they don't if they're checking them all.

Side note. I contacted my old uni to see about the verification process. I received an email the very next day saying they were passing my details on to the relevant department. 6 weeks later? Nada.

^ What do you expect from a Kao San rd. uni...

Dunno mate. What do I expect? You seem to be in the know about the dodgy stuff.

There will be raids this weekend on ECC, Siam Computers and the head office of Berlitz.

The reason things have been doing so bad in the south is because they've brought back over 5,000 armed troops for the raids and they've been in constant training since October.

Inlingua and Wall Street teachers are OK. Both paid the tea money

Get out now if you're bent, they have a shoot to kill policy on escapees.

You're a reliable source of info poolie! I really should start reading the beginnings of threads. How far is your tongue in your cheek with your posts?

Moved to pub.
It's not quite ice box but it's full of absolute crap and the OP hasn't been seen since.
