Hi

I'm Neen and I'm new to all this india mike malarky. I've recently gained my TEFL cert & I'm hoping to get teaching experience in scotland over the summer. The plan is to move to india (pref delhi or mumbai, although I'm not too fussy) in september and teach english, any tips and hints on how to find work and relocate would be much appreciated (as would tips on how to use this site lol)

Thanks to everyone

Neen.

Welcome to the malarkiest site about India on the whole worldwide web.

Check out the visa and employment threads. Relocating to India can be a bit of a bureaucratic challenge.

You had best check out our visas section! There is no such thing as coming to India with with a work visa, unless you have the job already lined up and all documentation from that company.

Hi Neeny,

If you plan to work and earn money please do make sure that you have a job in hand with proper documentation from your employer and a Z visa.

Else, you can work as a volunteer and ask them to arrange for your housing and food as perks for volunteerism/ internship so that would not put you in breach of any laws.
