I'm sure there must be threads about this somewhere, but I've been unable to get the search tool to take me to them.

All information is appreciated.

Does anyone know of a good website for this kind of information or have information about your country? I did find this one, which helps a bit:

I'm 62, by the way. It would be nice to know which countries are definitely out, which ones have soft limits and which ones have no limits.

Your post is a bit unclear.
If you are trying to narrow down countries where you can teach, your nationality and qualifications are also key factors - in many places, these are far more important than age.

If you can give more info, you'll probably get better input.

Thanks, Spiral. I'm American with double BA Linguistics and English and post graduate TESOL. Have taught 4 years in Poland, 3 years in Oman and 7 years in USA. Trying to get back to Oman. It is one of the countries that is iffy. 60 age limit, but older teachers do get hired sometimes. Trying to explore my options if that doesn't happen for me. I'm detecting hints that the age limit there is more of a point of emphasis at the present time.

This won't be much help, Mojoski, but I've been kinda keeping half an eye on this myself since I hit the big six-oh this year. The good news is I've never really seen "no" etched in stone (or even "unlikely"). I've mostly been looking at Asia and North and Central America.

Thanks, Mr. Kalgukshi! I forgot to use the quotes. That's where I went wrong on my search. Embarassed

Russia's usually ok, but a bit cooler than Oman.

No limits in China.
