As American English is rapidly becoming the language of business worldwide, the demand for native speakers to teach American English is also on the rise.

We, the undersigned wish to teach English abroad, legally. We would like for the U.S. Government to work with the EU Council to create a renewable one-year visa for teachers of English as a Foreign Language.

The visa holder should have at least a 2-year Associates of Arts Degree and must be TEFL or CELTA certified from an accredited institution, and at least 18 years of age. The visa will require an employment contract, and proof thereof.

The visa will enable the teacher to obtain a residence visa that will also be renewable.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
