How Do You Teach English Overseas In China And Taiwan?
Whether your goal is to learn Chinese by full immersion, live in China or Taiwan and experience the culture, take a gap year from academic studies that will add to your resume and skills or just finance travels in Asia, teaching English in China and Taiwan can be a rewarding experience. American English is the preferred vernacular and a college degree helps but is not mandatory. Sign up for a few months or a school year, get paid, often get housing and medical care and airfare home. Here are some things to consider about teaching English in China or Taiwan. Get your visas before arriving in-country. For China, get a “Z” visa through the Chinese consulate or embassy in your country. For Taiwan, check with the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in your country for the latest requirements and procedures. Check early because obtaining necessary visas can take months. In some cases, you can apply for a work visa once you arrive, but you risk being denied or having to return to your country
