Teach English in Egypt

Work & Visas

How do I find work?
The big schools hold recruitment fairs in the UK and USA, so keep an eye on the education supplements of your country’s newspapers. You can also try contacting schools direct – dozens can be found on Egypt’s Yellow Pages website.
Can I find work while in-country?
Yes. If you ask around once you arrive, you’ll get plenty of recommendations.
What is the usual hiring process?
Interviews in person are preferred, but they’re often very informal and more like a friendly chat!
Is a work visa required to find paid work?
Yes. If you fix up a job before you leave home, your employer will help to arrange your permit. Many teachers arrive on a tourist visa and arrange the work visa once they’ve found a job.
Work visa requirements:
  • Job offer
  • Passport valid for six months
