Are you searching for another job?
Are you looking for position in another country?
Let’s jump into the top 7 incentives you should look for when you are searching for a job overseas.
1: Tax Free Money
Within the United States, the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion allows you to exclude up to $112,000 of your foreign earned income from United States tax.
2. Paid for Housing
Specifically fully furnished apartments and our housing. Some countries even provide groceries to assist you with settling in.
3. Stipends
Depending on the country, you can receive an additional stipend such as an overseas allowance.
4. Free Flight Benefits
Flight benefits includes your arrival flight and your returning flight to go home at the end of the school year.
5. Reimbursements
Moving abroad can be an expensive process, specifically your work visa process. There are potential funds that are needed in order to complete the steps to obtain a work visa. Many international schools will reimburse you for the funds spent if you keep your receipts.

6. Health Insurance
Free health insurance package. You want to check to see if you will be paying for anything out of pocket.
