International-school teaching
MX-01Qualified international-school teaching
Qualified school teachers seeking an international curriculum role are the clearest evidenced fit in this profile. Experienced English-language teachers should assess individual language-centre vacancies separately.
Source-led route overview checked 2026-11-08; a recruitment page is not confirmation of a suitable open vacancy.
- Who should explore it
- Greengates states that its teachers hold UK Qualified Teacher Status or an equivalent international qualification. That is an employer benchmark, not a rule that a short TEFL course qualifies someone for every Mexican classroom. Confirm the subject, age range, references and safeguarding checks for the actual post.
- Pay evidence
- No nationwide salary or savings estimate is verified here. Request the gross salary, expected net pay, housing contribution, medical cover and relocation terms in writing. Cost a commute to the actual campus and retain money for deposits and the period before the first salary.
- Working pattern
- Confirm classroom hours, preparation, meetings, cover and paid holidays in the written offer; no national working-week estimate is established here.
- Length of placement
- Employer-specific; confirm start date, probation, renewal and notice before accepting.
- Work permission
- For a temporary-residence visa based on a job offer, the Mexican employer first obtains authorisation from the Instituto Nacional de Migración. The applicant then completes the consular process. The official portal distinguishes this from the separate visitor route allowing remunerated activities for shorter assignments. Check which permission the offered contract requires before starting any paid teaching.
- Support and benefits
- Confirm housing, flights, relocation support and medical cover in writing. These are not assumed to be included.

Documents, healthcare and remaining checks
- Professional recognition
- Match the employer’s stated criteria to your exact qualifications. Confirm any local registration or recognition separately; a UK credential does not itself grant immigration permission.
- Documents
- Confirm the authority’s current checklist and the employer’s safeguarding requirements; do not send originals or pay a recruiter until its identity and process are verified.
- Healthcare
- Obtain written evidence of cover, exclusions, emergency arrangements and any separate cover required for dependants.
- Initial costs
- Price document authentication, permit charges, travel, accommodation deposits and an arrival reserve for the actual location.
- First payment
- Not established by this overview. Confirm the first payroll date and which costs you must fund before reimbursement.
