| It's harder in Asia. Some places won't get you a visa if you're over 50, 55, 60 etc |
Many schools in Asia won't even consider someone over 50, and that applies esp. to the chain schools which are more likely to hire someone with just a BA & TEFL but no exp. teaching EFL.
I have an American friend, he's just over 50, with a BA & CELTA & 5 years teaching EFL, he finds that many schools won't even consider him because of his age, despite his quals... |

AT 60 years of age it's probably best to teach English online in Latin America....and be a freelance teacher working for yourself. Otherwise opening your own language school in a country of choice (Getting married to a local would be helpful with legal visa/work related/residency issues etc) . Good luck!  |

| Happy to help if you have questions about Ecuador. Age isn't much of a barrier here (I know several teachers who are older than you). Adults only will be more difficult, though there are a a couple of places that mostly specialise in business English. |
HLJHLJ (or just_a_mirage,) do you happen to know whether a retirement visa allows the visa holder to work under current law? A few years ago I was trying to compile a list of countries where a retirement visa permitted working, and, as I recall, at that time Ecuador did not allow retirees to legally work. But I am curious to know what the current visa law allows.

| Yes it does allow you to work. The law hasn't changed but the interpretation of it has. |
