Hi all,

I'm 23 and I've recently completed my CELTA course and have a BA (Hons) degree.

I'm looking to work in Vietnam and have about �1200 to spare (about 2 months living expenses?)

So, the plan is:

Get a 3 month tourist visa before I come. Also, get a police clearance certificate from Disclosure Scotland. Fly to Hanoi at the start of December.

Once there I will look for a job.

Questions:

For a work visa do you just need a police clearance along with degree certificate and CELTA certificate?

Is this a realistic plan?


I have already had an interview offer from Language Link, but they are presuming I'm already in Hanoi.

Is the way forward to arrange some interviews via email a week before I go?

For police clearance is a Disclosure Scotland form sufficient? Or does it need to be CRB?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Joe

You probably won't get any responses, as all of your questions have answers via the search function. But in short, with a BA, CELTA, 1200 quid and a ticket to Hanoi, you'll be fine, and get the police clearance authenticated by your country's national-level service, not just a local notary.
