Hello Chalida, My question regards getting a work permit when 60 years

I would like to come to Thailand and do some part time work ( about 10-12 hours) when i retire . I have a degree, a TEFL, Business qualifications and much work experience. My question is would a school/university/company in Thailand hire someone who has just turned 60. Would it be difficult. I liked your video and it would be great if you can reply to my question.Thanks Paul

I would say it's not impossible.

But English teaching is usually a young person's game.

However, because of your experience, you should look and see what kind of jobs are out there. Then when you prepare your resume, focus on the experience that would make you great for that position.

Wish you the best of luck!

WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
"The team at Baan smile were so professional the customer service was excellent. I first called to get help with extending my tourist visa. Miss P was so honest on the phone she advised me if I wanted I could do extension myself and would only be 1,900 baht. I appreciated her honesty and advised her I prefer a company that has experience and would relieve my headache trying to figure on my own. Her team took over and completed all necessary paperwork and got all my information from me that was needed. They scheduled a day to meet at Immigration and I was met by Miss P and her assistant Sophia. They walked me through process and it was so simple. I am happy to have met the team at BAAN SMILE. I will be calling them for all my needs and services in Thailand."
