| It only takes a week to get a visa. Why the hysterical drama? |

Your words, not mine.
Nothing hysterical about. Nothing dramatic about it. It's just common sense.
I have always sensed that were were Vietnamese. I don't think you're a foreign teacher. |

the product = students
a commodity = teachers that are easily marketed if they have the "white face"
answer = perhaps but gainfully employed and still doing whatever (I must be doing something right)

There are at least 2 other ways you can get that legally before you get here and several ways after you get here but some aren't legal.

Perhaps someday soon (I doubt it) but not yet. VN is a developing nation with any number of exceptions and exceptional ways - if you get my drift...

This is why a solid set date to fly out is not as fixed as I'm hoping it would be. |
This was my guess in the first place and why I suggested a 6 month visa plus after you get here, you can still work on a tourist visa and renewal is cheaper and easier every 6 months.
So you just want to be cheap.
When/if you get a job that requires a work permit, you'll get the job first, the permit second, and the visa change after that. Thru all of this - you'll be working, getting paid, and waiting for the slow turning wheels of the Govn. to finish their journey.

Thanks for the response Tex.
I'm not being cheap, I just didn't want to fly into bankok, wait, and get a visa there when I can do it in the US.
I consider this question, answered and solved.
Thanks for the replised see folks. See you on other threads. |
