Do you dream of teaching English in Myanmar?
TEFL jobs in Myanmar
Myanmar has a tumultuous political history. Since 1949 the country has been engaged in the world’s longest-running civil war, and certain areas of the country are still unsafe for foreigners due to ongoing conflict, so make sure to always check Foreign and Commonwealth Office advice before making travel plans. That being said, tourism in the country is booming. Away from the troubled border regions in the north, Myanmar is a safe country for EFL teachers to work in.Where to find work in Myanmar
You can acquire a business visa before you travel or purchase one on arrival for a slightly inflated cost, as long as you have a letter of invitation and a sponsor letter. These are single entry visas, valid for 70 days, and can be renewed or turned into a Multiple Journey Entry Visa for Business which is valid for 6 months. Until only a few years ago there were very few opportunities to be found teaching English in Myanmar. The opening up of the country and a more pro-Western attitude means EFL teachers in Myanmar are in increasing demand. You can secure well-paid work with benefits even without previous teaching experience. As long as you have a TEFL qualification and a university degree you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding work, but the sought-after international school jobs will expect applicants to be experienced, well-qualified, and professional.
