- NOTE: If you are from SA or Namibia, you will be required to do a TOEIC or IELTS test to prove your English proficiency in order to get a work permit as a teacher in Thailand. You can do this before coming over, or do the test in Bangkok. A native English speaker will have no problem passing the test.
