What are the prerequisites for teaching English in Peru?
To teach English in Peru, an internationally recognized TEFL qualification is a must. While some prestigious schools may favor candidates with a degree and native English proficiency, these are not universally necessary. Given the high demand for English teachers that often surpasses the available supply, Peru presents an excellent chance for beginners in teaching to acquire valuable experience.
What are the visa regulations for teaching English in Peru?
Most English teachers in Peru rely on a 90-day tourist visa, which is given upon entering the country. This visa can typically be extended for another 90 days. Once the extended period is over, teachers often take a short trip to a neighboring country and then re-enter Peru to obtain a new tourist visa. Though this method may seem unconventional, it is widely accepted in Peru.
