HEADS UP!  We advise you to teach abroad with a PDF copy of your university diploma(s), but first "Apostille" your bachelor's degree diploma.  There is a global trend requiring the apostille stamp for the work VISA application process.  It's not a standard requirement yet, but it is a growing 'trend.'  Avoid problems abroad by taking care of this preventive measure before you leave home.  NOTE:  COLOMBIA requires it!

The Colombian goverment is now requesting a recent background check (USA nationals FBI background check) for visa application purposes, if you don't have it yet, we strongly suggest you start working on it, as it can take a while to get it done. Once you have it, remember you have to get it Apostille. It is a must requirement.
