Do you dream of teaching English in Kazakhstan?
Kazakhstan (in central Asia) borders China and Russia, and has undergone something of a quiet revolution in recent years, kick-started by the fall of the Soviet Union in the 1990s and a long-awaited independence that enabled the country to use its vast reserves of oil and minerals to pull itself to a level compete on the world stage as a key economic player.
As a consequence of this growth, Kazakhstan has seen huge investment not only in this vast country’s infrastructure, but also in its education system, including the EFL industry.Visa applications for Kazakhstan can be tricky because there just aren’t that many Kazakh embassies around the world, limiting where you can go for your paperwork. However, it’s the school’s responsibility to sort out your visa so this shouldn’t cause you too many issues, just be aware that it might take longer than you hope to get things sorted. As well as the usual professional paperwork you’ll have to submit a medical certificate and have a HIV/AIDS test before you’re approved.
