So much talk about these bar codes in a passport (Mic & Rheno),it's really no problem getting it done if you are that desperate in having it faked.All it does is to make your passport a "machine readable passport" at the port of exit/entry of your country of departure and destination.

I am not a pro-fake passport usage anyway and I don't think teaching is for me either,the codes are functions of simple data like your date of birth,sex,name,country etc.There is no magic behind it,it's all calculations based on the aforementioned.

Talking about non-native EFL tutors,I think it's more pronounced in Asia and it also goes with your colour.In the US,a melting point of races,you can see all human colours available on earth teaching or working,the more reason a country like that is leading in all spheres of life.If you are a graduate of a language genuinely,your country of origin shouldn't make you unfit to be that language teacher or does it means non-natives taught by native speakers can't qualify to be a teacher of the language learnt?

PENALTY FOR USING FAKE PASSPORT:
Guess must vary from one country to another but can't be less than a prison term,therefore BEWARE,be your self as you are as BIG as you FEEL! Opportunities abound near you.

Hi all,
Your dissusions have arouse my interest in this fake passport thing. It seems so easy to get.
Who can tell me how to get one..
This is no joke.

Your replies are awesome, to say the least. I'm having fun reading your retorts. Keep them coming, please. It's good to get a good guffaw in each day.

You say in your reply to Lily:

But, if you really want the ESL job, then you can either take the low paying jobs, try to lie about your background(but they will check your passport), get a passport from England, USA, Canada, NZ, or AU.

THEN you tell me:

"No one ever told her to get a fake." AND

"I don't recommend using fake anything"

Lily's lying would be her passing herself off as a 'fake', dude. What the hell is the matter with you?
I'm not here to police anything or anyone, bee-yatch. I just want people to come clean and give me TRUE info--you know, the kind of info where I don't have to look over my shoulder very five minutes wondering if the cops are finally on me.

No one ever told her to get a fake. You assumed. I only stated the facts, because she asked.

I hope a person whom has a fake passport would be smart enough not to use it in the same country (for example, a USA passport, don't use in the USA), most people are smart enough to figure that out, that goes without saying.

The "special codes" you refer to, we call them, bar codes, they are nothing new. Many things use bar codes, it is not a new invention or anything.

Yes, she asked about a non-native teaching ESL. Since most of the ESL jobs are not in the USA, you can assume she will use it abroad. Most likely an Asian country.

I don't recommend using fake anything. But, some people are desperate and must depending on the circumstances.

Now, you on the other hand, are very nosey and critical of others. I thought this was an ESL website, didn't know there were police monitoring it.

Again, US laws don't have jurisdiction outside of the USA. It is that simple. Just ask the ESL teachers in the Netherlands.

Well, I am not advising her to do either. She can get it legally or illegally, that is her choice.

But, your statement is wrong, how will US laws apply to her when she is not living or working in the USA and if she is not a real US citizen???

She doesn't have to get a US passport, in fact, it is probably better to get a UK passport or Australian.

US laws only have jurisdiction over their own country and citizens.... at least that is how it works in the present time.

You will not be paid as high and your won't find as many job opportunities.

CELTA is required to teach in most European countries, but is just considered another teaching certificate in Asia.

Why is ESL teaching your dream? Most of the people whom teach ESL don't dream about it, it is just a temporary job. It is not easy to be a career ESL teacher, not enough money, no benifits like medical or retirement plans.

If you want to teach English and you love English, why not become a Professor of English and work in one of the Universities in your own country. Now, that is a real career.

But, if you really want the ESL job, then you can either take the low paying jobs, try to lie about your background(but they will check your passport), get a passport from England, USA, Canada, NZ, or AU.
