				Hi, 
 
 
I'm heading to Thailand in a couple of weeks to complete CELTA in August in Chiang Mai, and I'll then have a few weeks before my visa runs out to try and fund a job teaching English. 
 
 
Ideally i'd get a job from end of August in/around Chiang Mai or elsewhere in Thailand, and if not I'd like t head to Vietnam to try there. 
 
 
What documents am I likely to need to apply for jobs other than: passport, university certificate, CV, birth certificate? Will I need my originals? Bit worried about losing university / birth certificates. 
 
 
 
I also read some places ask for a background check which I don't think I can get at home in the UK unless an employer requested it on my behalf. I also read some people require docs to be apostled but that it really expensive to do and I won't have much free time before I leave- is this necessary? 
 
 
thanks |

				| Since your questions are country specific and you apparently need answers quickly, I suggest you post on both the Thailand and Vietnam forums for better exposure and a faster response time. |
