The country's oil industry has brought significant wealth to Jakarta, and
has triggered a need for business-minded Indonesians to learn English. The
main demand is for Business English, General English and English for Young
Learners.
Few schools in Indonesia will consider teachers without TESOL
qualifications and experience.
Teachers Required Native English Speakers

VISA Many ESL/EFL teachers arrive in Indonesia on a Tourist visa
(generally valid for 2 months) to find a job. Having found a job, they will
