 As you cannot teach on either of these legally, the 'straightforward' option doesn't really apply. Yes, schools can get you a visa, if they want you enough to do so.  The OP may find this a bit more problematic with a trailing spouse.
 |  I brought up business and tourist visas because he was talking about entering the country to look for a job. Obviously, he would need one of those to legally enter the country to look for a job. My understanding is that if you get a job you have to leave the country and wait for the work permit and then you can re-enter the country and start working. That's what I've read at least. You would know more about that part then me.
