I understand that the employer will sponsor the work visa, but will they also sponsor a dependent's school visa ?

Answer

Hi Dianna,

Unfortunately there's no easy answer to this question. Some employers will, others won't. This will vary depending on the individual school and country/visa context, although as a rule of thumb you'll likely have better luck with private or international schools than you will with public schools or institutes that have fewer resources.

The best thing to do is talk to your school about this as soon as possible. If your taking a teaching job is contingent on this dependent visa, let your interviewers know that so they can take that into consideration and let you know about their policies as soon as possible. You may not be able to arrange this with every school, but if you're upfront about it, you should be able to find a school that is willing to make this work.
