you are very correct.I will be happy to receive any advice which can help sustain my family financially
Check now
Here is a better course of action that would stand you in a good light, pay well and involve the least risk.
You are friends with a lady from UNICEF - correct?
Devise a program, along their guidelines for Cambodia.
They will advise you.
The other route of teaching English is not suitable for a cultural and thinking man like you, who can achieve better things here.
Let me know your thoughts.

That's fantastic..myfirstnamemustbetuk wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 5:41 pm I always find the response to these questions quite comical. The first thing that comes to mind is "are any of these people black".
When I first came to the Kingdom, I placed one of those Facebook ads, you know the ones all the foreigners make fun of and say "get out there", "get off of Facebook and get a job". Within a day, an international school invited me in for an interview. There were four candidates, two were white and a girl from East Africa. I was hired over the three, and given a great salary.
I worked for around a year. When my contract was up, I decided to teach privately. Private teaching has been going great! I teach a few different subjects and my base rate is $30 and hour and it goes up to $45 for advanced subjects. I have no trouble getting work. There is an abundance of work, if you market yourself properly.
I do hold an American passport. Racism is alive and kicking in Cambodia; however it should not discourage you. Black people have issues anywhere in the world we go. I have quite a comfortable life. I work when I want and travel with the wife when we want.
Best of luck, don't let the negativity stop you. It's best to have a cushion, just incase things go unplanned.
Oh, one last point. There are two black principals that I know of, they are doing great for themselves.
I am happy to hear you are doing well.
I agree with everything you say - it's the real thing!
Hopefully the OP will also do well.
He has a good background and reputation.
Good selection in his friends list.
Take over the reins.
Definitely this man is not a time-waster.

"..principals..."
Cambodia is a wonderful place for many of us "misfits" - LOL - of all types.
The good thing here is that you can do whatever you want, IF you are smart enough to make it work.
It sounds like you have a very good chance.
Best wishes!

No, that's not what I'm saying. It might be your spouse will fit in another category of visa.Etiwel Mutero wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 4:53 pmyou mean if I get a work permit my spouse wont be able to stay with me in Cambodia?Kammekor wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 4:50 pmThere's no such thing as a spouse visa, work permit or not.Etiwel Mutero wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 4:41 pm I am a Zimbabwean .I have a degree and a TELF certificate and currently studying towards a Post Graduate Degree in Education to be completed by end of this year.I chose Cambodia because according to my internet searches Cambodia doesnt discriminate non-native speakers on work permits.I want a work permit because it becomes possible for my spouse unlike China where I will be forced to work illegally because I am not a native speaker
- tourist
- looking for work
- business
- retired
But if you work here legally your spouse won't be provided a 'spouse visa' just like that. There is no 'spouse via'.
