Is it possible or likely to get a job in TW and have your airfaire paid for as part of that job teaching ESL?

I'd have 3 ba degrees and 0 mas and teflz. (BA: English, Chinese, Spanish).

I guess it's possible, but unlike Korea, it isn't normal or likely.

Good luck

I would say there is about a 95% chance you WILL NOT find this in ANY job offer in Taiwan...regardless of your qualifications...1 BA, 3 BA's or 10 BA's it makes no difference to a bushiban...

This school: www.glo.com.tw
has been known to lend people airfare and then teachers pay it back through payroll deductions. After their one year is up, the school then pays a bonus somewhere close to the cost of a standard airfare. They also offer free dorm housing.

just a reminder: some of the schools that offer plane tix dont have the 'best' of reputations. its mostly a gimmick to get newbies to the island and stick them in a less than desirable bushiban.

but, it all depends on the school, i reckon.
