Richard,
Up until last year you could score a job in Indonesia with rather low time but this party is now over. As for Maldives Air taxi, I hope you have some float time and twotter time cause if you don't there is no chance of you getting in.
Papua New Guinea requires 1000TT just to fly a 206 and they definitely prefer Australian or NZ licence holders.
Burma, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand etc will hire locals first every time so unless you have time on a type and they are short you have no hope.
Very rarely someone will "walk into a job" but this isn't the norm. Indonesia is on the lookout for instructors now but minimum of 500 hours teaching time. Pay is ok but it isn't a stepping stone to something bigger. They won't give you a local licence and you need 250 hours on type there now anyway.
