English Teaching Jobs in
Vietnam

There’s an abundance of work for English teachers in Vietnam. Teachers can find work year-round in language centres teaching a range of ages as well as in private and public schools. It’s possible to secure a job before arriving in the country, but it’s easier to do so in person as face-to-face interviews are preferred by many employers. Contracts don’t typically include perks such as accommodation and flight reimbursement offered in countries such as China and South Korea, but salaries in comparison to the cost of living are very good. In order to work legally in Vietnam you need a BA degree, a TEFL certificate, a criminal background check, and a passport from the US, UK, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia or South Africa. You can convert a tourist visa into a work visa if you have found work while in the country, which is a popular route into working in Vietnam. There are also plenty of voluntary opportunities in the country which can be a great way to get a taste for it and see if Vietnam is for you.
