Recruiters usually ask for the following documents when you apply to teach abroad. These are specific to Vietnam and China.

Similar documentation, translation, and notarization processes will likely apply to other countries. This process will require both time and financial investment. Translation and notarization of documents typically take about one to two months. See below South African agencies that can assist with document translation and notarization for specific countries.
