A good experienced teacher will always be able to teach virtually anything they are required to. At least to High School level. A higher degree in literature is no guarantee of any ability to teach English. The ability to understand the teaching/learning process, motivate students, classroom control and real classroom experience are far more important. I have higher education qualifications in English, business and law and have recently completed another degree in the arts. None of these are as powerful as the years of experience I have at working a classroom.

To obtain the OA visa you had to also have medical and police report in addition to proof of funds. The extension of stay is making the 90 day entry one year longer and this can be repeated in country. If you need to convert from a tourist visa entry that will cost an extra 2,000 baht at immigration and proof you have the funds for retirement. That new entry can then be extended for one year for the normal 1,900 baht fee. Or you can just visit a Consulate to obtain a single entry non immigrant O visa to start the process.
Just 2 weeks I did exactly lopburi has indicated, except it was more simple. I came from Japan, arrived in Thailand, BKK airport, with no visa, entered based on "visa exemption rule" since I am Canadian, and got a stamp to stay for 30 days. Went to the Jomtien immigration office 7 days after entry, paid 3900b and got a retirement visa good until April 2012. I returned the next day and got a multi-entry re-entry permit for 3800 baht. Now I can come into Thailand and stay as log as I want until April 2012, and leave and re-enter as many times as I want, until April 2012. I do need to report to immigration after staying in the country for 90 days, and every 90 day period thereafter.
To get the retirement visa, the following were required: 2 sets of documents, each set consists of:
a. photo copy of bank book showing funds of 800k baht in the account for at least 3 months
b. application form completed (available for free at immigration office)
c. a passport size photo of me for each application form (at the shop beside immigration 4 photos were 150b)
d. proof of my address, a receipt from the hotel was OK
e. letter from bank confirming the balance in the bank(one set gets the original, the second set can have a photo copy of the letter)
f. your passport with at least 2 blank pages
No police report, no medical report required!
S how did you have the 800000 Bht in the bank for 3 months prior?
