				| Don't worry there are hundreds of EFL positions available for anyone who wishes to teach in Thailand these days who hold a university degree. Many schools nowadays are looking for teachers to teach English in the Land of Smiles ..even Thais!  Good luck!  |  |

 You can find (legal) work if your documentation is in order.
 
 As an NNES a lot will depend on your passport.
 
 Indians and Africans (other than South African nationals) have a difficult time.
 Filipinos have a much easier time finding work as English or other subject teachers.
 Europeans usually have an easy time depending on their language proficiency (TOEIC test score) but may be offered a lower salary.
 
 There is NO chance for legal work if  any part of your documentation is lacking.
 
 You NEED before you fly in:
 
 degree (may need embassy authentication depending on where you are coming from). 
transcripts of academic records from your uni.
 TOEIC test result.
 police check
 passport with more than 1 year validity remaining.
 
 It is to note here that a TEFL / TESOL / CELTA / TESL course is NOT a requirement to find work as a teacher in Thailand.
 The TOEIC test IS a visa and work permit requirement. No TOEIC = no visa and no work permit as a teacher.
