Age limit for native English teachers

I am wondering if anyone could tell me the age limit for teaching in Vietnam? Are there any options for those over 60?

If not, are there any countries in Asia that employ over 60s?

Thanks!

@dawnbuckley  Theres no age limit . Just that schools would rather hire a cute blonde chick over a sweaty hairy old dude. So you at a disadvantage. We used to call VUS , Hollywood because of all the cute chicks and prettyboys they hired. In fact they cared not a jot that an older man had years of teaching experience under his belt and was loads better at the job than some pretty college boy just off the plane.

No.

One answer is to come here and join one of the dedicated F.B. groups for teachers here and announce your availability for interviews.

Good luck

Hello bekkicallaway, and welcome to the forum.

You hadn't mentioned your holding the minimum of a 4-year university degree (any field. eg. BA, BSC), a prerequisite to teaching English in Vietnam. There is no age restriction to teaching English.

A recent thread, titled "New Foreign English Teachers Requirements Decision 4159/QD-BGDDT" (Link) gives some details regarding amendments to holding a legal teaching position in Vietnam.

Feel free to ask additional questions, participate in our other ongoing threads, or open a new topic of your own for discussion, here.

Once again, welcome to expat.com
