Finding a job/completing the visa while in Vietnam?

Cookie-M0nsterr

I'm Canadian and I'm thinking about moving to Vietnam to teach English around February. I'm thinking about traveling around South East Asia prior to my arrival for 4-5 months while the weather is still nice.


But this leaves me with how do you go about doing the visa process while in Vietnam? I can't get a Canadian RCMP background check while in Canada as it's only valid for 90 days (my travels are longer than that). I can possibly apostille my degree and TEFL certificate before I go though. Would it be possible to get a background check done in Vietnam? Any other components I need to be aware of?


Second, is it possible to get a job in Vietnam while there? I can apply for jobs in advance while traveling but wouldn't be able to do my visa process until I arrive.


Thanks.
