I fell in love with Mexico this year, so I have to move there. I was thinking what to do, so I could come there with a job already, so I found this oportunity.

I did secondary pedagogical school, I wanted to teach English and German in Slovenia, but life turned otherwise, so I studied economy and I worked in IT company as a sales and purchase manager for 10 years, but I have daily used both languages.

So, maybe I have a second chance to do what I love to.

I did my TEFL certificate with 95% and also Business English and Teaching Young. I also got a Job placement advisor.

What do you suggest would be the wisest to do? Just wait if she is going to find me any job? Should I search anyhow by myself a job in Mexico? If, how do you advise to do it ? I asume, that my biggest problem is, that I am not a native speaker.

So, I am asking you to suggest me, what to do next, to come to Mexico.

Thank you,

Has your job placement advisor suggested you contact the Mexican Consulate nearest you to find out about your entry requirements to Mexico? That is a first step for some foreign nationalities. If you enter and then get told you have to report to Immigration and renew your tourist visa every 30 days it is a big pain, especially if you don't end up near an Immigration office.

Thank you Samantha.

I can get tourist visa for 3 months authomaticly on airport at the moment I come to Mexico. At least that Slovenia is part of EU is helpful, I think.

So what do you think I should do now?

I am learning Spanish, of course, that is what I can do from here. I would like to get any advice from you and all foreign teachers, that already are there and know how the real situation is there.

Thank you
