THE BASICS Generally speaking, to find legal work in Europe you must (a) be the holder of a passport from an EU member state, either through birth or ancestry, or (b) be married to an EU citizen, or (c) be in possession of a valid work or study visa. Employers in the EU cannot just hire a non-EU citizen – they first have to prove that there were no suitably qualified EU citizens who could...

Late last September I moved to the north of Portugal to teach English. Now my contract is coming to an end, and I have nine months' solid experience to add to my three months spent working in Vietnam.

Group Description
Though frequently overlooked in favour of Spain, Portugal has an ever-growing market for EFL teachers. Demand is greatest in north and central Portugal, with jobs cropping up in historic centres such as Coimbra, Braga and Viseu and in small seaside towns like Aveiro and Póvoa do Varzim. Wages are generally low (€700-1,000 net per month) but the cost of living, at least outside the big cities, is reasonable. As with everywhere else in Europe, an EU passport is preferred.
