Going rate is about $20/hr. If you're hardworking you'll get jobs with time. Living expense depends on your style. I don't cook, I buy my food from restaurants. So I can't use myself as a standard. About $10 to $15 per meal. Rent is about $200-$500 depending, mine is $250. Lovely place. Transportation is also another factor. Not too expensive about $100 monthly.
In addition to what you have written, and to also add my knowledge and experience here in Vietnam,.....my house is a beautiful building, I lived in the 7th floor of a 12 story building. My landlord likes me so much because maybe because I am black, I don't think he had seen a black before, most of the houses here, you don't need to bring any load, as everything is already available, I drive a bike here and I cook so I spent little on transportation and food, my house is free internet.

Talking about teaching here, it's fun as most of the children have not seen black before, this make them to be curious to want to know more about you and ready to listen to you. The classroom is sometime noisy and rough as there method of teaching does not support beating and punishing a child unnecessarily....just make the children happy, that's the goal....if they are happy they will listen to you....
My salary, I earn close to 2000$ monthly as I worked over 100hours in a month at the rate of 20$/hour....I also do some partime jobs at the weekend.... though the price of the private coaching is small but any amount I earn at the weekend for private coaching, there's no way I can finish spending it during the week, because things are cheap.

I forgot to say I lived in the capital HANOI city, a village in HANOI, hoi duc, the village is so lively and beautiful, I can talk more if I am free.

Dear Nigerian teachers.. Awa lokan(its our turn)
Are you a Nigerian teacher ready to japa to the UK come 2023?
Well the UK government is introducing a fairer approach to awarding a qualified teacher's status (QTS) for teachers in Nigeria, Ghana, India, South Africa and some other countries starting 1st February 2023.

With this new development, you do not need to go through the PGCE route to get your QTS once you meet the requirements

Some of which are:
1.have an undergraduate degree of the same academic standard as a UK bachelor’s degree, as verified by UK ENIC
2.have completed teacher training that meets the standard of a Level 6 qualification and is of at least the same length as an English initial teacher training course
3.have completed a course with content that is practically and pedagogically focussed
4.be qualified to teach children aged between 5 and 16 years
5.have at least one school year (a minimum of 9 months including school holidays but excluding time out taken for any other reason) of professional experience working as a teacher after qualifying
6. have the professional status needed to be a teacher in the country where you qualified, and not be subject to any conditions or restrictions on your practice

How does this translate to japa-ing?
Well it simply means once you get the QTS issued by Teacher Regulation Agency (TRA) you can apply for teaching jobs with visa sponsorship and stand a chance to japa to the youkay. Isn't God wonderful? Na teacher dey reign now.
Kindly visit the UK department for education website for more information.

Explanation of the requirements
1. Have a bachelor’s degree in Nigeria that you will need to verify by UK ENIC. Go to their website to see how much they charge for the result verification.
2. Have a Nigerian Post graduate diploma in Education (PGDE) for those with non-education degrees
3. A Nigerian PGDE covers this requirement
5.you must have a minimum of one school session teaching experience
6. Have your TRCN licence

https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-education

1. Verify your degree with UK ENIC before February
https://www.enic.org.uk

2. Apply for QTS by 1st February 2023 on TRA

https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/teaching-regulation-agency

3. Get QTS and start applying for UK teaching jobs. QED 💪

Please this is not true.. Nobody stops students from working and most people have this fear that it's illegal which it isn't. Quote me anywhere!
Okay ooo, weather is true or not, you can try it....all what I am saying here is what I know for sure because it happened to a close friend that we are here together, I don't say you cant work, but you will short-paid and also it's illegal to work without work permit, just pray you don't have problem with there immigration.....it's better to follow due process in everything so as to avoid troubles....since you said student can work as someone that have work permit.....well, I am hearing this for the first time....we learn every day.....the Vietnamese embassy website shall proof this right or wrong because I dont like argument online!

There are many African, Nigeria working here in vietnam, keep searching and praying, you will surely jam one soon, just be ready and get your certificates notarized because if any opportunity comes, most of them will not give you time to be looking for way to gather your documents, they will just ask you to come immediately.....i Believe this happen when they did not see whites, and they don't have choice than to manage what they see......THE MARKET IS STILL SELLING HERE, JUST BE FOCUS AND NEVER GIVE-UP....AND ALSO REMEMBER ITS SO COMPETITIVE, GET ALL YOUR DOCUMENTS READY,.....ITS SIMPLE, GET JOB, AND SEND YOUR NOTARIZED DOCUMENT AND MOVE....AND CHANGE YOUR Financial Standard forever as you will be getting btw 1500 to 2500$ monthly depending of the company you work for!

In 2014, I took my first and only IELTS, made a 7.5, even created a thread and was optimistic about getting a scholarship. Between 2014 and 2018, I applied for dozens of scholarship but was always given admission without scholarship or put on reserve list.

2019, I had had enough and decided to look into other ways of leaving Nigeria


Good day @whyna please I sent you a mail or Dm. I actually don’t know how this platform works. Anyways I have all my documents and was wondering if you could help out maybe with companies or schools over there that can sponsor Nigerians. Most of them on Facebook claim they can’t sponsor Nigerians or Africans. Thanks ❤️

This is serious.

And to enter with job visa is quite expensive.
Why do you say is very expensive.....to enter Vietnam to work or study does not cost anything but your requirements, visa or visa letter if you want to get it on arrival, that is if your have sponsorship, the company shall help you with the letter, as well as student, your admission letter and other things that show you are going to study, shall grant you the visa. I hope this explains some visa stuffs

Moreso, I don't know why it will be that expensive if you follow through normal process.... also be careful with those agents out there that don't have international passport but they are doing visa for people to travel out

Can others who are in VT talk about this pls? I want to study for my masters in VT and I was told it is legal to work while studying. pls let those in VT shed light on this.
Since you are not with a work permit yet, it's illegal to work here, and if you can find your way to the heart of any one that can give you a job....I believe they will short-paid you because they know it's illegal to work as a student.....any amount they offer you, you don't have a choice as they know you cannot talk. Normally pay per hour is 20-30$ for a foreign language teacher

The major required documents to get a teaching job in Vietnam is having a first degree, unless you want to do other things (other route different from teaching) meanwhile, only route that I know of is teaching jobs which am doing here. coming to Vietnam without getting all your documents ready might be too difficult to get jobs or even work permit.
I hope this answers your question, please let know other ways I can assist and sorry for late reply.l had been so busy lately.

WhyNa visiting visa process biko
According to my knowledge, There's nothing like visiting visa here, they only have business and some other visas, even the business is sponsorship, the one you can get again are for specific countries which Nigeria is not part of them

Most jobs here is English teacher
Moreso, Vietnam is a very beautiful country that do there things on there own, that's why they are flourishing everyday, they don't want people to come anyhow to there country without having impact or offer any service that will be of benefits to them....so therefore, if you want to come, you must offer a service.
