I'm planning on moving to Asia to teach english in the next few months (Taiwan is my first choice)...I would prefer to have a job set up before I go, but I'm curious as to what documentation you need in order to obtain a visa through your employer. I got a DUI over 3 years ago and I'm wondering if that will effect my chances. I'm really looking forward to teaching abroad and I would be devastated if this one mistake ruined my chances. If anyone knows anything about DUIs and teaching in Asia, particularly Taiwan, your advice would be greatly appreciated!

Don't sweat it - first of all Taiwan doesn't require a background police / criminal check and secondly even if they did I reckon they'd be checking for deviant tendencies with kids rather than DUI.

So did you end up going to Taiwan? Was the DUI an issue?
