Hi, I'm going to teach English in Latin America. Right now, my most likely place will be Costa Rica. I would like to hear from anyone who is or has recently worked in Central or South America, regarding work permits/visas.
Did the company help you get a work permit? If so, how long did it take?
Or, did the company just pay you in cash under the table, and you lived off of your passport as a tourist?
I want to know what to expect, as I have heard many different things regarding work permits, and would like to hear firsthand from other teachers. Also, could you mention exactly what country it is and even the school name if you don't mind. Thank you!
