Working in tongaCountry forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea | ||
Hi guys, still throwing a few ideas around on our next destination on this crazy road that is the globe...and was wondering if someone out there knew anything about working in Tonga? I have a British passport and have heaps of experience in a variety of trades, recently working as assistant manager in a backpackers, but would be looking to do almost anything that earns a crust. anyone out there worked in Tonga before? Thanks | ||
Not Allowed -you get a 30 day visitors visa and that's it. Any legal work would have to be arranged by your employer before your arrival. | 1 | |
That is pretty much the same anywhere in the Pacific Islands. They don't have enough paying jobs for their own citizens. | 2 | |
a volunteer gig is your best bet. get paid local pittance or a living allowance. australian volunteers and us peace corps are big. i'm sure the brits would have something or other going on if you were really keen. | 3 | |
Brits have VSO - there are plenty of them in the Pacific, but they are usually University qualified (or perhaps trades like building) - in needed areas. | 4 | |
