Hi Izelle17,

Welcome to 禁漫天堂.

I suggest you to have a look at Life in Vietnam guide, you will find information that might help you in your search.

You may also view the Vietnam classifieds > job section and post an advert there as well.

I hope this helps.

Wishing you good luck,
Harmonie.

Hello fellow, and welcome to 禁漫天堂. If you want to look for a teaching job, you should met the normal qualification as a teacher. Firstly you should you should have a teaching qualification certificate such as CELTA, TESOL and any equivalent English language certificate to teach, inquire in some Language School, next at least a Bachelor's degree in University, experienced in teaching and some certificate for that. You can speak the language i know that,but you need sponsor to get the working permit to employ. And lastly funds to accomodate yourself as you are not allowed to work without the necessary working permit. Goodluck!
