Hi all, this is my first post, so i thank you for your patience...

Ive taken my time to read your posts and the information has been invaluable, so thank you.

I am clear on most things, but have one question.

Im 46 yrs old, dual nationality, born UK, and now US citizen, and I am hoping to do a TEFL course in Thailand in April / May this year, with the intention to teach there permanently.

As part of my initial immigration into the USA, to obtain an H1B, i obtained an experienced based degree in Business Management.

For those that don't know, you can, quite legally, obtain an honorary degree based on your work experience, 4 years of employment equals one year of a college degree, therefor, 16 yrs of work is equated to a 4 year degree, therefor equals a BA in Business Management.

The US immigration allows this as a a path to an H1B, which I renewed twice, then followed on to a green card, and then to citizenship.

So, does anyone know if this "honorary degree" is sufficient to obtain a visa to teach in Thialand or do i need an "educational" degree?

Alternatively, does the government have any similar reciprocity for experience being able to be transferred to a Degree qualification?

I thank you in advance for your consideration.

Sincerely

Neil
