uchman: Just some input... I really don't know about the other countries you mentioned so I'll just speak for Vietnam. When covid hit, things got bad for everyone but NES were hit the most. Why? Those guys are big flexers so do the maths. But that's not even the issue. In late 2021/2022 when the world started adjusting and opening their doors, that's when it became RED for teachers in Vietnam. We were at HOME for ONE WHOLE YEAR. Guess who was affected again ![]() To make matters worse, in that time, government started clamping down on fake visas, people entering as tourist and remaining to teach, people teaching without degrees and documents and this made both entering and return difficult for NES as well as continued exit. My point, I honestly don't think other countries shutting down had much effect on this. Yes experience counts. Yes accent counts (in the bigger cities), skin colour, yes ome centers will tell you that's what parents want. Others who have worked with both NES and NNES know quality and are indifferent. They look at what you have to offer and dedication which majority of them NES don't have Also, sometimes, it's not about being paid well but about the cost of living and how much you're able to save afterwards. Just my input 6 Likes |

Pou0: Gracias. @anyone reading this, don't let anyone discourage you. Make your own research, ask lots of questions, compare different places, cut your coat according to your size, don't underestimate starting small (if I had, I would have left Nigeria in 2014), work your way up, be smart and learn on the go. Just like pou0 said, what works for a won't work for b so research and let God guide your way. But I tell you in all sincerity, people are and have made it here 3 Likes 1 Share |

padua1234: Lies. One of the reasons I minimised posting here is I kinda expected people who have been to and are still in Vietnam to come share their experience cos I know many of them from this platform. Many. If only me keep posting, it will look like I have something to defend or I'm the only one it's working for. At the same time, I understand people are busy, don't have time, are not big in social media platforms so we have to respect . Lots of black people ARE making it here. Many have brought friends and family and many have saved more and moved to another country easily. Again, it boils down to knowing and giving value and not putting your hand where you know you clearly can't reach. I know people who when they came here, they performed poorly in terms of accent, teaching style, being strict and all. They didn't start applying to big big schools and cry when they were rejected. Instead they started small, learned very fast and today, them dey rush them 7 Likes |

u3fine: It's good you captured the 40+ people who laughed at that post cos that offer is a joke. Every once in a while, you'll see recruiters post most of this ridiculous adverts and guess what, people will bite! If you think I'm lying, go back to that post and you'll see at least one desperate black or Philippino who posted "am interested " Don't be deceived though, majority of the people who say they are interested are those here illegally...visa has expired or one thing one thing so they accept whatever comes and the recruiter knows. And yes, there are lots of people, blacks even in the cities making good money! Quality recognises quality! Don't expect to get value if you yourself don't have anything to offer. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

jasonclement: Please quote me.right. You can but it's a rare thing. You can try until you succeed. On the other hand, there are people who process the sponsorship. The dicey part is knowing who to trust. Most of them will open an umbrella company and seem all genuine until you get to Vietnam and then you get blacklisted and you won't know in most cases until it's time to renew your visa. Then you'll be sent home after being fined heavily. Others will scam you outrightly including your country man. Bottom line, do your research WELLA. Ask lots of questions, I mean lots of questions and pray. 3 Likes |

Jaebaifa1: Happy New Year Nairalanders! It's been a busy but fruitful 2022 and we thank God for that. Cheers to all the Nairalanders that made it into Vietnam in 2022, I know about 14 of them. Looking forward to 2023 and what it holds. Hopefully more people are able to make it out here. To the ones entering in January, the sky is your limit. Make una try post frequently to motivate others mbok. To clear this once and for all, it is extremely difficult to get a job in Vietnam from Nigeria. Chances are like 1% and here's why... It is cheaper to sponsor a White person into Vietnam. They already have a 30 or 60 day visa free entry and so would not cost up to 1000 usd to bring them in. On the other hand, it costs much more than that to sponsor someone with an African passport and no one is ready to spend that kind of money. Whites are already considered Native speakers and parents are attracted to schools with White teachers. So it's a no brainer. They'd rather bring in a cheap, liked White than an African Nigerians still have a reputation here. You get the drift bah? On the rare occasion that it happens and you do find someone willing to sponsor you...I've seen just one person in my 3 years for this waka...here's what happens.. They pay you way below market value. At first, it would seem like a win win cos you still earn more than in Naija. Then 2-3 months down the line, your eyes will clear and you'll become unhappy. They will overwork you. You basically do more hours ontop of low wages and they send you to different places. You don't have a say They'd most likely hold on to your passport or are on standby to blacklist you and withdraw their visa if you mess up or are not good.. Just thought to put this out there. Cheers 8 Likes 1 Share |

Upzyworld: No you don't. You earn in VND _ Vietnamese Dong. Most companies just negotiate in dollars for example they tell you its 25 dollars per hour. But you get paid the equivalent in VND 3 Likes |

Abimbola2018: talkless78: Abimbola2018: Hi, I already stated I don't know much about student's admission but it's pretty straight forward. Some nairalanders following this thread have gotten admission and some are here already sef. I know cos I helped most of them pay their school fees. If only they can come back to share their experience and put people through. But basically, you should... 1. Make a list of the schools you want to apply to 2. Take note of their admission period. I think admission for September is currently over 3. I'll advise you to use a laptop when browsing school websites. The website would be in Vietnamese but when you use a laptop, google tranlates the site for you so it's easy to understand and navigate 4. Once on the website, search for their email address 5. Go to google translate and type all the enquiries you want to do and tranlate it to Vietnamese. Be clear, send your documents if possible and state the course and session you're applying for. This will save you having to send multiple mails waiting for replies each time. Copy that translated maial and send to them 6. If they have an agent, they will refer you to their official agent but 95% of them deal directly with students 7. Send to as many schools as possible 8. If you're using a laptop and admision is open and you are able to apply, apply! Then follow up with mails. This is the much I can say about applying to schools here About schooling and working, majority of schools tell you you can't work. Doesn't mean people don't. I have no idea about the legal implications so please do your own research 5 Likes |
