A formal report is not needed from your home country. However, a medical check will be required to obtain a work permit to TEFL in Vietnam once you are in the country. Teachers should disclose any significant mental or physical health conditions when signing up for the program.

The majority of the TEFL placements in Vietnam are in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Hai Phong, and Can Tho. There are also placements available in smaller towns and more rural areas.

Knowing Vietnamese is not necessary, but learning a few phrases and words will make you a hit with the locals. Survival language will be a part of the Cultural Immersion workshop!

Your placement in Vietnam will mainly be at private language training centres which have adult and young learner classes.

Airport pickup isn’t included. However it can be arranged for interns.

For the training portion, teachers will arrive on a DL Class visa (tourist/visitor). It is then converted to a work visa once employment is secured. Support is provided throughout, but costs are borne by the teacher.
