Age limits for Native English Teachers

Post new topic

For those interested in this question , here are some answers.
Vietnam     RMIT Ho Chi Minh City    
    Vietnam doesn't have upper age limit for work visas. "I got a job at age 63"
                  (6/17/2011) I applied to a school in Vietnam which was interested in me UNTIL I told them my age (60). The Director told me Vietnam has strict age limits for teachers. This contradicts the previous post
                  (8/4/2014) The Vietnamese Embassy in London confirmed by email that there is no legislation relating to working age in Vietnam. Age restrictions are up to individual employers. I am not a teacher but a lawyer.

Are there any Native English teachers on this site still teaching past 60yrs?, ( legally ).

This is Owen Hicks, he is teaching English at a University in Quang Ngai, albeit, he is a retired Professor from Aus, teaches voluntarily , and there  are no other Native teachers at this University, ( no money , or too tight?, same at the elite high school here???? ). I have students from both places regularly asking me for lessons, unfortunately not enough days/nights in a week.
