Teach English in Saudi Arabia

Work & Visas

How do I find work?
It’s best to contact the schools and universities direct, sending off your CV and a covering letter. You will probably have to come to Saudi Arabia for an interview.
Can I find work while in-country?
This is possible, but considering the maturity of the market, it’s not the kind of place where you can turn up and expect to get a good job. If you do decide to look for work once you arrive, make sure you have enough money to cover your expenses while you get set up.
What is the usual hiring process?
Once you’ve applied, you’ll be asked a few questions over the phone and then invited to an interview in Saudi Arabia. You might be asked to teach a practice lesson.
Is a work visa required to find paid work?
Yes - your work visa will be arranged by your employer.
Work visa requirements:
  • Job offer
  • Copies of your degree certificates
  • Medical certificate
  • Authorization from Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs
  • Visa fees
