How to renew license for foreign teachers in Thailand?
All Teachers in Thailand must have a license to teach. Khurusapha or Teachers council of Thailand issues Teaching license or temporary permits. To get a license you must have at least a bachelors degree and a one year study leading to a diploma or certificate in Education/ graduate degree in Education. If you don’t have a degree in education or additional teacher qualifications they let you teach by giving a temporary permit or waiver. You can get up to 3 temporary permits and each time you get one it is valid for 2 years.
After the third time, the teacher is expected to submit proof of additional qualifications with a minimum of 1 year study leading to a certificate or diploma in education.
The new procedure to renew license online explained
Because of the Covid-19 restrictions and the problems of mobility, Khurusapha (TCT) now wants schools to apply for 13 digit member number for all foreign teachers and submit their application online. This is new and is effective March 2020. This announcement is in Thai but you could use google translate. The announcement says they will stop processing licenses over the counter. The entire process is now online and the license can be downloaded.
Schools that are in the KSP system can do it faster.
I got my latest license in about 48 hours. My school did it real fast. I greatly appreciate the back up plan and the professionalism displayed by the Teachers council of Thailand. I hope this article was helpful to those who were looking to renew their license during the virus tragedy.

Hello. The license that you renew in 48 hours is the 5-year license, isn’t it? Do you know how long do I have to wait for the 13-digit member number? Thank you.
apologize for the late response. you usually get it within 3 months after you apply for the 5 year license, If that’s what you meant.

Hello. My 5 years license will expire in August 2022. May I ask if it is okay to apply for early renewal of 5 years license in January? My school is renewing our work visa in April. I’m afraid I will be given work visa only until August 2022. And may I ask how to apply online?… Thanks in advance. Have a nice day.
Yes you must ask them to renew before August 2022. Besides there are new requirements like taking a test before getting a 5 year license. check with your school and Khrusapha. Good luck

Hello,
How many temporary licenses can a teacher apply for? What is the maximum number? I have been told 3, then someone else said 5 and then I have read that it depends on the school that is applying for the license.
Also, do I need to do a course before applying? I was told the requirements have changed recently.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
you can get the 5th waiver if you’re studying to get a PGCE or similar and yes it does depend on the school. they have to request the waiver for you.
