Embassy Registration

Although teaching abroad can be an experience of a lifetime, it is important to remember that as a teacher, you are an ambassador of your home country. To make sure your experience is a positive and memorable one, your home government should know where you are at all times.

The way that you behave and present yourself will largely depend on how the locals will feel about your country. Be aware that stereotypes about your own culture also exist, and that more likely than not, the way you present yourself has something to do with that.

Immediately upon your arrival to your host country, you need to register yourself with your local representation. Registering yourself is vital to your safety, especially in case of political unrest or natural disasters. Please register immediately upon your arrival one of the following links:
