I think I made the wrong choice to attend grad school 10 years ago... Teaching English in Thailand was my alternative choice, after spending a month there and falling in love with it. Now I'm in major debt, and typically stressed out a fair majority of the time. Sure, my job has higher pay, but... I'm in a whole lot of debt. And, stressed.
Did you end up making the move😅? I’m joining really-really soon, lol ticket is booked (that’s just how I operate and it works for me, I did the same with Vietnam) and also looking for groups for expats. ❤
Hi Daniel, great question! Thailand is one of the many countries in Asia that has official retirement age between 55-60, and so schools will not sponsor work visas for those in that age range or above due to those policies. You can find more information on that along with other requirements here on our site: www.internationalteflacademy.com/blog/requirements-for-teaching-english-in-thailand
I've been to Thailand three times. I currently work at a steel mill near Pittsburgh. I earn about $80,000 per year gross. I had thought about teaching in Thailand
@@laura_F_ oh wow really I would love but I just feel so depressed at minute I can't find the strength to do something like that. I have even given up hope and decided I want to be left alone in my sad life

Do the schools have an age limit for foreign English teachers by policy or law?

You can switch to retirement visa and work through agents. Just don't look too old. Don't hobble around and celebrate your 70th birthday in class.
@@andgray Thank you.
@@andgray Another question. I thought that one could not work on a retirement Visa. Is part-time or full-time work legal?

As long as you aren't a drunk or sexual deviant and have a bachelor's you'll find work easily.
