TEFL jobs in Chile
The peak hiring times in Chile are in March and July. Many TEFL teachers choose to wait until they have arrived in the country to find a job. Schools prefer doing face-to-face interviews and can hire on the spot, so be sure to shop around and don’t just accept the first job you’re offered. Jobs aren’t usually offered before you’re in the country .Where to find work in Chile
The sujeto a contrato visa is tied into your work contract, so if you change jobs, you’ll need to get a new visa and your work will need to be for a minimum salary of 100,000 pesos per month. Another option is the visa de residencia temporaria, which is more flexible but comes with extra paperwork. It’s not legal to work on a tourist visa, so when you have an interview, check which kind of visa your employer will support – don’t accept institutes that say it’s fine to work on a tourist visa and renew every 90 days. Visa fees are more expensive for British people than Americans. Look for working holiday visa opportunities too, depending on where you’re from. You’ll find the most opportunities in Santiago, and while positions in smaller places are not as well paid, the cost of living will be lower, as will competition for positions. Most teachers coming to Chile are American, so some schools will pay a premium for British accents which are harder to find.
