I hear that there are new age limits for foreigners entering Middle Eastern countries to teach, and have three questions on the topic:

1. What are the age limits in Oman, UAE, and Bahrain (men/women);

2. once in and under the wire, can a teacher transfer jobs within the country after having reached or passed the age limit; and

3. might that teacher renew an existing contract once over the age limit, but already within the country/learning institution?


Sign me,

No longer thirty-something

Hi,

I was employed to work here in Oman nearly 2 years ago. I was 60+ (60 is the officila age limit here) when I signed the first contract and the second one has been renewed automatically.

I know others older than me who are, like myself, employed as teachers.

There is a great shortage of experienced and well qualified teachers here in Oman, so I am sure they are turning a blind eye to the rules.

Hey Flutter

Since you seem to be asking about multiple countries, perhaps you should post this to the general board.

Perhaps if a MOD notices, they could move this over.
