    Hey Palesa. So I am feeling a little bit sentimental today, so I wanted to publicly share this...with you, your subscribers and anyone who wants to actually come here and do what we do. I think I have told you all of this before in person, but ke, I just wanna do this again. I wanted to say THANK YOU. literally this was the video that convinced me to come do this. I watched it like three or four times. I was super depressed, in debt, and life was just moving super slow for me. After watching this video I picked up the phone and called Sim... and the rest is history. So to anyone honestly who is thinking of coming here.... please please just do it. You won't regret it!!
    much love,
    Sphe (I am Soju)

      OMG you'll be here so soon. My last three weeks in SA FLEW BY! Enjoy the air and spend time with people!!
      Mine took two months because I applied in December and there were a lot of holidays. It's actually supposed to take 22 business days. But You can come here without it they will email it to you stamped and stuff. Korea will accept It. The sooner you go the better. You need Your ID, and filled out RC01 form so you get to SARS and just submit. If you don't download it before hand and fill it out. You'll first wait in line for hours for them to print out the form for you and then get a new number and wait again just to submit. Don't be like me lol. DM your email I'll foward you the form if you don't have it.

      No, they use the dates you put down on your application. It’s only valid for a year make sure your dates are correct. I had incorrect dates and it got rejected and had to start again. Your Visa will want your contract but not this.

    Dude I am really considering doing this.. I'm in my last year doing my BTech in Accounting. Another youtuber •said a TESL certificate is not necessary when you have a btech/bcom qualification.
    •Also dude the process seems so long i feel like if I start now with the process I'll only get to leave end of 2020
    •Also the cost of application sounds pretty steep (I just googled the cost of getting a TESL certificate)
    I don't even have a passport yet so I have to start from stretch stretch!! 😭 I realllllyyy want to do this though, I dont see myself doing no internship that pays R2000 a month when the cost of living itself is ridiculously high.
    I'm not too sure if you've done a video explaining in detail the process because I just found your page, also if you have any idea where I can find that sort of information please let me know I'd really appreciate it.
    Sorry for the long comment but girl I wanna get out of here 😅

    • @PalesaJonas
      @PalesaJonas  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Lol firstly thank you for venting here. I know your thoughts may be all over the place but I’ll try answer to my best ability.
      I think it depends. I know if you have a degree in education or English you don’t need it. For Epik you have to have one. Anyway it’s better to do it because you earn more money with it.
      The process is long if you’re trying to go With Epik then do it now to secure a space for February. Or you could use “GOE” they hire throughout the year.
      I’m actually a brand ambassador for this company “IOA” you can follow this link and get your tefl for R300
      offers.internationalopenacademy.com/palesajonas/course/tesol-course
      I have a video about cost of living: th-cam.com/video/ksE7jWwVC9s/w-d-xo.html

      Imagine being 3 qualifications above your boss and come April you only see a R1 000 salary increase.
      How and when do they think we're going to buy houses with a (now) R18 000 monthly salary??? That time you work from dawn to dusk working on nonsense admin and fixing your boss' constant mistakes (because matric was as high as he dared to go). I'm a glorified intern mos
      At this rate I'd only ever see minimum R25 000 in 6 years.

      Thixo! @@SunGathersDust Black Tax.
      Like they just don't understand what you mean when you say "I don't have any money". Then they say "but you work njena". From that nothing you must make a plan heyi!
      From what I've been looking at, Saudi Arabia has the deepest pockets. Salaries can range from R27 000 to R45 000, private institutions go up to R60 000 (even higher if you offer private tutoring), tax free, benefits similar to Korea including bonuses for just keeping your word and completing your contract.
      But ey, that culture shock and heat can be problematic for an opinionated black child 😅. They also prefer you have a Master's degree. Also, NO alcohol. . . I'll leave that there to think about . . .
      Also, men and women cannot mingle
      South Korea is the place to go salary wise, standard of living wise, support and respect you get (being a teacher is #3 after father and mother), cultural experience. You can do a young eat, pray, love journey there.
      I was actually happy to find that what I had researched and heard about the place is what @Palesa Jonas is living, experiencing and thriving. To see another person that happy is wonderfully beautiful. I like happy people 😌
      China comes close to SK, but Korea has finessed the program and package better.
      The other places, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Taiwan are great of experience and exploration is what you're into. Money not as high but cost of living in those places is low enough.
      Europe is another place that has great demand hey. Russia, Germany, Spain, Hungary, Bulgaria, Austria, Turkey, Greece, Poland, Portugal and a few more.
      Money is decent, but you know how the Rand is doing against the Pound and Euro right now. . .

    Okay so please help and offer me some advice... So I have a teaching degree and currently working BUT as you said, working in South Africa DOES NOT mean you have financial freedom. Please help me with the following:
    1. It's currently December 2020 and I would like to apply and, hopefully, start working in Korea in 2021
    2. I have a tattoo on my lower arm, could that negatively impact my application?

    Hey Palesa, Im currently in Japan on another programme. I wanna know, does the free housing also cover utilities? Cos utilities are nyising me this side!
    I see you also said mzansians don't pay tax or pension. We pay both tax and pension here, but the pensions get returned to you when you leave (which could take up to a whole year).
    Lastly, which institute did you do your TESOL with?

    • @PalesaJonas
      @PalesaJonas  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      You pay your utilities and no one pays more than R1000 . I pay R600 and most people pay around R200 or less. it's really cheap.you don't pay first two years the tax. And pension, South Africans don't pay at all.
