Any chance of an employment visa to teach English in Hong Kong if you don’t have a degree?
QUESTION
I’m hoping to move to Hong Kong to teach English and find employment with an employer who will grant me a work visa.
I’m a British, recently turned 30. I have studied 2 years Higher Education which is equivalent to 2 years University Degree. I recently passed the TEFL teaching course.
But I don’t have the 3 years full degree, my qualification is only 2 years equivalent, do you think I’m still capable of getting a work visa?
I’m hoping to stay 7 full years if a visa is granted to become a Permanent Resident.
