The Country Matcher: which teaching country fits you best

Five questions, then a ranked shortlist. The matcher weighs your passport, your studies, your priorities and your budget against the ten destinations on the board plus teaching online, using the same pay figures as the Salary Index and the same entry rules as the Visa Desk. Your top three come back with the numbers and the links to check them.

Five questions, no email required

What matters most

Setup budget

Ranked from the destinations your answers qualify for. Anything with a condition attached says so on the card, and the links take you to the desk lines behind the numbers.

A shortlist, not a verdict. The matcher ranks the routes we track on The Hire Wire using pay figures and entry rules last checked 7 August 2026. Euro figures are the ones published on The Salary Index and carry the conversion rate and date stated there. It is general information rather than immigration or careers advice, and hiring windows move through the year. Confirm anything that matters on the desk pages and the official sources they link before you commit.

Runs on Salary Index and Visa Desk data, the same sources as the board.Nothing is stored. Your answers never leave this page.

Our Editorial Charter

Checked, dated, corrected in place

Every figure and rule inside this matcher comes from an official source, a ministry pay scale, a programme page or an immigration authority, checked on the date shown and corrected in place when something moves. That is the standard the whole publication runs on.
