If it's only the bank account issue couldn't they pay your money into the account of a collegeau? Not unheard of in the UK where it seems easier to get a credit card than a bank account, which goes a long way to explain their current debt crisis.
Anyway keep smiling, South America is a great place to be.  |

Usually cash and expect about 5 to 10 an hour.
Here in Peru, you can open an account with a passport.
Funny you were rejected for a student visa, I got one easily, maybe that's because it was in 2002 and there were mass evacuations of missionaries and embassies, guess they wanted all the people they could get.
Just show up, you'll have your pick of schools when you do� |
That is a nice thing with living and teaching in Peru. Here in Mexico you have to have a FM-3 which is a non-immigrant work, student or other residency visa to open a bank account.
Here in Mexico schools will almost always pay you in cash or write a check made out to portador which means anybody can cash the check and I have had a few of those checks and the banks never asked for ID.
Could the rejection have anything else behind it  Perhaps the tensions between Mr Bush and Mr. Chavez  Or does that have no effect on getting the visa I though about going to Vznl a few years ago and I had an offer from two different schools. I just could not get around all of the anti-US rhetoric and Gringo bashing from Mr. Chavez. I consider myself to be left of center, but I could not bring myself to go and try to make it there. Mexico has been fine with me. If I went to another place in L. America it would be Peru or maybe Panama. |
