San Marino Italy

visas for teaching English in Italy, Switzerland, or San Marino?

Hi, I just graduated with a B.S. in politics and I am wanting to obtain a TEFL certificate and teach English in Italy. It appears that one of (if not the biggest) obstacle I will have to overcome is obtaining a work visa. I hear it is super difficult for an American (or any non EU) passport holder to obtain this type of visa. Has anyone here who is not an EU citizen had any luck in obtaining one? I don't want to waste time and money with a class if I'm gonna get turned down for a visa. Also, if this proves to be a problem, has anyone tried to pursue work in San Marino or the Italian-speaking areas of Switzerland? thanks!

It'll be very difficult to obtain a work permit in these countries. A better option for you is Germany, Czech Republic, or an Eastern European country.
