Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It's not that bad. If you have a degree in teaching/TEFL, there's legit schools that will do 99% of the work for you.
If you just have any degree, including some paper you scribbled "degree" on in crayon, there's "english learning centers" who will pay you to be a white monkey, follow the lesson plan, and do promotional materials. They will do the work for you too, but you should be more careful with these ones.
If you're working remotely, come on a tourist visa and do 3 month visa runs. Money and knowing the right people can get you a TRC, but myself and tons of digital nomads just keep the tourist visa.
Americans who get a Chinese tourist visa can enter for 90 days (60 if you got your visa in Vietnam) a time as often as they like, for 10 years. Otherwise, people in Hanoi do Laos and people in HCMC do Thailand.
Bureaucracy in VN is much more flexible than any other country I've been to.
My ex took my degree when he left, but I have transcripts. Is that acceptable? If so, how can I be sure I'd avoid ones that would not do the paperwork, or do it correctly?
Yes. You will also need to take a 140 hour online certification IIRC.
As for avoiding the ones that don't do the paperwork, simply refuse to work until you have the TRC and work permit in hand.
Hey thanks for your time and for answering me. What kind of certification? How can I avoid shady employers?
TEFL, idk, I'm not an English teacher, ask around when you get here, maybe post on the vietnam reddit.
Ok thanks.
