If you want to teach English in Vietnam or in any country. You should have the following things
– Teaching certificate: This is a must to teach english in Vietnam. Your teaching certificate should be TESOL, TEFL, CETAL or some equivalent certificate
– Teaching experience: although it’s not compulsory, but if you have teaching experience, you will have more chance to get a good deal with employer
– Degree is a plus. No matter what field you studied, as long as you have a degree or higher your CV will be loved by your employer.
Degree is a plus. If you don’t have a degree, it’s ok. But you likely have a lower chance to find a job. I don’t think having a college degree proves anything. But having a college degree is certainly an added benefit. You purchase a product, you ask for a bill/certification, that gives you authenticity and credibility. The same goes for a college degree.

Other employees can, however, work in Vietnam without permits regardless of duration if they are transferred to Vietnam by their company, and if that company operates in one of these 11 service sectors: business, information technology, construction, distribution, education, environment, finance, health, tourism, entertainment and transportation. Working without permits regardless of time periods also applies to teachers working for international schools under the control of foreign embassies or international organizations. If they are working for local schools, they are obliged to get permission from the Ministry of Education and Training to be exempt from work permits. Additionally, authorized volunteers from international organizations, foreign students working as an intern in Vietnamese companies or experts supporting and implementing Official Development Assistance projects are not required to obtain work permits in Vietnam.
