Apparently Thailand is an extremely fraudulent country. We didn't know this until after we had accepted the positions... though it wouldn't have impacted our decision. The Ministry of Education and the government have very specific requirements for documents. In the next month or so we have a lot to do in order to be able to work over there.
To do list:
1. Receive a typed document from the universities from which we received our degrees that specifies the dates that we attended. It needs to be on the university letterhead, be signed in blue ink and have the university seal.
2. Get our marriage certificate notarized
3. Send copies of our transcripts, diplomas, and teaching licenses... as if #1 isn't enough?!
4. Receive letters from our former and current school principals that indicate the dates in which we worked at the school. It needs to be on the school's letterhead and signed in blue ink. (What's with the blue ink?!)
5. Send copies of our passports
6. Sign a doctrinal statement
I guess you just can't trust anybody, especially us crazy Americans...
