You will not be able to qualify for a work permit in teaching without the degree...

Without any degree, finding any type of employment here is extremely difficult...due you are competing with foreigners that have BA / BS and other qualifications. Even the established online programs favor instructor with degrees, or your pay will be very low.

You must choose between retiring and teaching, not allowed to do both. IF you wish to explore teaching options and what is required, check here:

Some of us still seek out the pretty I/O's ;-)

Or if you wish to simply relax and not have to travel and apply for a new visas all the time :-)

The link shows up perfectly for me and always has....it is very official ;-)

Personally, this visa offers so many more privileges compared to others, I would never go back to any other options. Any time you visit Immigration, you are not required to queue for any services. Simply identify yourself as an Elite member and you are processed immediately. Plus the concierge service will assist with anything you require, from privilege banking, health insurance...etc.

For that question Sam, you best ask the Sales Dept...sorry!

Personally, I have been offered much more, but declined all offers.
