I'm also wondering about holding yourself out [or in this case, your wife] as a method to obtaining a work visa? Is this a commercial business or a private venture? If the former perhaps you could list the name of the company and offer other competing venues as well?

Again, I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade but you're very new on this forum and are asking people to send their very private information to you is a bit surreal. Surely there is a ministry that handles this - it surely isn't a new issue.

Yes i believe you are trying to throw cold water on the parade, there are genuine people still in the world without having any other agenda, The man wanted advice i gave it , he then asked for help i offered it. As the owner of a school we do education non b applications for fun we have 42 teachers work for us in schools in Bangkok, We are also Directors of a Foundation. The advice i gave was honest and True

You cannot do any kind of work in Thailand without a work permit go to Thaivisa .com there are hundreds of pages about the subject.

There are only 2 criteria were you can get a workpermit for teaching
1:- you must have a 4 year degree in Education.
2:- Any other 4 year degree will do if you also have a TEFL or Tofel ect

A CHARITY OR FOUNDATION must sponsor your application to be a volunteer.

So i ask you what is my hidden agenda i offered to help i am in a position to help, but now i am reluctant to help, This was a genuine offer all i asked was that he cover the postage of express mail for a 14 page document,

When teachers apply from abroad and they have the right qualifications we ask for the same documents without the passport details please inform me how i can apply for anything
