I'm a little surprised at these statements about not needing a degree for a FM3 visa. I'm pretty sure our local immigration office requires a copy of the degree, apostille and all. Then again, every office is different
There's no doubt that you can land jobs here without a degree, but they will be places geared towards making money and little else. If you want to progress in your career, then degrees are pretty important here.
I don't think having a degree is the be all and end all and I don't think it necessarily makes you a better teacher. However, insinuating that you can get any kind of teaching gig 'down here' without a degree is misleading. I can't think of any reputable universities that would employ teachers without a degree, for example. |

This is true. I know that in the office local to the school I taught at, you absolutely, positively had to have a bachelors or higher. Just a TEFL certificate wouldn't cut it.
However I know that in other locations of Mexico the rules seem to be more flexible, and a degree is not necessary if the applicant has certification. |
