The Eligibility Checker: which teaching doors are open to you?

Three questions, honest answers. Tell the checker what passport you hold, where your studies stand and your age, and it maps your answers against the official entry criteria we track on the Visa Desk. Every result links to the government or programme page that owns the rule, so you can read it for yourself before you plan anything.

Three questions, no email required

The Eligibility Checker

Your passport, your studies and your age, mapped against the official criteria for the nine routes on the board. Results link straight to the page that owns each rule.

Passport

Studies

Age

Open means your answers meet the published criteria. Check the detail means there is a condition to confirm. Not this one tells you exactly which rule closes it, so nothing is a mystery.

Doors that look open

Check the detail

Not this one, and why

A signpost, not advice. This checker is built from the official criteria we track on the Visa Desk, last checked 7 August 2026, and it covers the main government and programme routes rather than every possible visa. It is general information, not immigration or legal advice. Rules change and embassies decide individual cases, so always confirm on the official page linked in each card before you book anything.

Runs on 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 rule in this checker comes from an official source, an immigration authority, a ministry programme page or an embassy notice. Each one carries the date we last checked it, and when something changes we correct it in place and say so. That is the standard the whole publication runs on.
