Overseas Teaching Internship (OTI) participants receive information about the placement from the contracting organization. Furthermore, OTI participants will receive the following three documents: Notice of Appointment, Terms and Conditions of your contract and an attached Statement of Agreement. Please read these documents carefully, and promptly address any questions about the contract to your contracting organization. Sign the Statement of Agreement and return it promptly to the Contracting Organization.
OTI participants will receive information about flights and the Bangkok Orientation through the travel agent. If you have questions regarding travel arrangements, please call the travel agent.
If you have reason to believe that you will be unable to fulfill the entire 12-month period of your contract with your contracting organization, please withdraw from the program before you come to Thailand, and advise the embassy or consulate as soon as possible so that an alternate applicant who can fulfill the contract term can be found. If notice of your withdrawal is delayed, an alternate placement will not be made, causing an impediment to the progress of the English classes at the schools under the jurisdiction of the contracting organization to which you were assigned. Moreover, if you resign after arriving in Thailand, you will have to pay the price of your air ticket to Thailand and other hotel charges.
Please note that the terms and conditions of your contract are not negotiable. Arrival in Thailand constitutes agreement to those terms and conditions.
