I am currently studying at IH in Seville and wanted to know where is it the easiest to work in the EU for an Australian like me?

Is there any countries that offer the possibility to be �legalised�?

Any help would be great.

First, watch the subject verb agreement...

Lisbon is a possibility - there are schools that hire non-EU people, but they don't pay as well as IH or other schools. I've got friends teaching in Germany and Austria who are Australian, too. It's getting tougher and tougher, though some of the 10 new countries are still willing to give one-year work permits to non-EU people. Or you could try and work under the table, just be careful.

Try any of the 10 new EU member countries - they are still moving towards full application of membership rules over the next few years and so there are fewer problems for non EU nationals

The 15 'older' EU member countries all apply - to greater or lesser extents - the rules about residency and work.
