So the answer... after all of that.. is that you should have no problems... I would add that if you carry a UK passport, then where you were born wont matter at all.


Well this is the issue i dont carry a UK passport, i could apply for one if i wanted to but out of principle i prefer not to. I think this is what concerns me most as i know a few countries like south korea or taiwan simply wont accept teachers from a non native country because of their visa requirements.

lack of British passport wont automatically disqualifiy you in Mexico.. but your creditials need to be stronger. Celta might be sufficient but degrees in English would be much much better.

Your average Mexican won't have a clue what cricket is. 'European baseball' is probably about as close as you'll get.

They think it's that game where you knock balls through hoops, which they pronounce cro-KET Very Happy

Someone once told there was a cricket club somewhere in the Metropolitan area, obviously populated by expats, but I've never found it. Shame, I fancy getting my arm over again after all these years.

This article appears to date from 2003 or 2004: http://www.solutionsabroad.com/c_eventofmonth-Cricket.asp.

Whoa! Here's one from 2005: http://www.patricio00.com/post/2005/07/el-cricket-en-mxico.html.

I'll leave the remainder of the search to interested parties.
