ESL teaching in Myanmar

[alex88]

So now that Myanmar is opening up does that mean there will be lots of new opportunities to find ESL work there? What is the visa situation like for someone who does find a job there?

I have a Bachelor degree and I am planning to get a TEFL cert, does anybody know if that would be enough to find work in Myanmar?

Alex88, there are many language schools and bilingual schools. I suggest that your best chance at securing a job would be to visit Yangon on a tourist visa and do the rounds of the various schools. You should be able to find employment and the school should provide you with the supporting documents to obtain a 90-day business visa on arrival.

The problem is that the pay you might receive might be rather low while you are seen as a "rich foreigner" by the rest of the population.
