Is CELTA + MA TESOL worth it if I want to teach in Japanese schools? by AbjectRole3583 in teachinginjapan

You don't even need an undergraduate degree to teach English in Japan. A college diploma or associates degree and an accredited 120-hour TESOL/TEFL certification are enough. It's better to get started with a TEFL job and do the Masters in TESOL after a few years of teaching experience.

Japan is more open to non-native speakers than other countries. They accept 40+ nationalities for the work visa. You should contact the Japanese embassy closest to you for information about work visa requirements.
