Program Overview

Mongolia requires foreign teachers to come through a sponsoring employer. The Labour Migration Law has the school obtain an invitation permit, followed by a personal work permit for you, and the Immigration Agency sets aside its C2 visa for education work, with the inviting organization applying.

The law's job categories for foreign workers cover teachers at all levels of educational institution. Before inviting anyone, the employer must post the vacancy in the national employment database and wait 14 working days for a local candidate. Invitation permits run three months and work permits at most one year, and you file your first residence permit application in person.

The 120 Hour Advanced TEFL Course is the starting option, open with C1 English and no degree or teaching background. For a regulated credential, the 180 hour Level 5 TEFL Diploma holds Ofqual number 610/1571/4 from Highfield Qualifications and can be checked on the official UK register.

Each is studied online on your own schedule across 6 months, helped by a personal tutor and live Zoom classes you can opt into. Job assistance and the TEFL Institute job board support your search in Mongolia.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to all the most common questions about The TEFL Institute Group.

Which visa allows a foreign teacher to work in Mongolia's schools?

Look for a category C visa, the employment group on the Immigration Agency of Mongolia's list. Its C2 subtype covers people coming for education, science and information technology work, and your inviting organization handles the application rather than you. The Embassy of Mongolia in the US explains that it needs Immigration Agency approval before issuing a work visa. Check too that your passport has 6 months left after arrival.

What must a school in Mongolia do before inviting a foreign teacher?

Under the Labour Migration Law, it starts by listing the post in the national employment database. Only after 14 working days without a local hire may it seek to bring in a foreign worker, applying to the state employment authority. The file covers its work plan and state registration papers, plus evidence of your profession and skills. The resulting invitation permit is valid for three months, with one extension possible.

How long can a teacher in Mongolia hold a single work permit for?

Up to one year, based on the job and your contract length. The Labour Migration Law has your employer pass your signed contract to the employment authority, and the permit follows from there. The document records your name, citizenship, employer, place of work and permit term. Your employer may request an extension, and the law bars anyone from employing a foreigner who lacks the proper permit, so confirm this step before you start.

What registration applies when I land in Mongolia to begin teaching?

Your host, be it a firm or a private person, has 48 hours from your entry to register you online, the Immigration Agency of Mongolia says. UK travel advice notes that hotels and landlords use an app for this. Your first residence permit application happens face to face at the agency, while later extensions can go in online. The agency also warns applicants about paid intermediaries and points them to authorized government channels.

Which TEFL Institute course makes sense for teaching in Mongolia?

Begin with the 120 Hour Advanced TEFL Course if you want an entry level route: it requires C1 English but no degree or teaching experience. For a regulated qualification, the 180 hour Level 5 TEFL Diploma is listed by Ofqual as number 610/1571/4 and awarded by Highfield Qualifications. Those wanting more can take the 310 Hour Hybrid Level 5 Advanced TEFL Diploma, number 610/1573/8, with extra modules and live online teaching practice.
