It would be very helpful if people could post on here the visa requirements regarding university qualifications for the diferent countries in Asia.

The reason i ask is that i have a FDSc not a BA in computer science (this is a qualification in the UK known as a foundation degree which is similar to a HND but with a work placement) and i know some countries are very strict about this and it has to be a BA or higher. I have a TESOL aswel but this makes no diference in certain places.

So far i know...

South Korea - Impossible to get a visa without a BA
Vietnam - Impossible to get a visa without a BA.
China - Can easy get a visa with FDSc.

Anyone know the situation with other countries...hong kong, Taiwan, Japan, Tailand etc

Here in Malaysia you need a bachelors degree (in anything) and language qualification. CELTA gets you a job fast. You also need two years experience and be over 24. Being over fifty can be a problem but most places can get around that.

What are the immigration laws in the asian countries anyway? I'm not asian at all and I'm from Canada. Is it possible for me to eventually become a citizen in one of the asian countries and have full rights to vote in their countries like they do in mine?

I just attended a workshop at my school today. The speaker gets over $1,000 USD per hour. I think he is the Asian Tony Robbins. He said that in Singapore three out of every four new jobs go to foreigners. He didn't cry about it. He thought it was a good thing.

He thought it was a good thing. We need more jobs going out to foreigners. So many foreigners from China in Canada with all these jobs in my country. We should have the exact same rights in China as they have in Canada.

It's China's loss, not yours. There is a thread in the China Off-Topic forum about getting Chinese citizenship. Basically, no sane person woulld want it over their Western citizenship.

Well China's taking over our economy. And we're buying their products and giving them all power over the rest of the world. No wonder Taiwan has a hard struggle over China. Not to mention the fact that the government kills and tortures innocent Chinese.

If we suck so much, where do we get all the money to buy their products?

White man has created the western world economy using tools and knowledge we stole from the Chinese, Africans, and middle easterners. And we buy China made products which gives them more money to use in order to make sattelite destroyers to use against us. Not to mention to send all their people to our countries so they can take over. Which is good because white people are just a mis-fit. I think multiculturalism in my country is great. In the 1940's when there were mainly white people in Canada, this country really sucked. But now we're doing really great now that we have all this multiculturalism and foreigners that protest against the Canadian government when they put cartoons in papers that discriminate their homelands. I want more multiculturalism.
