    Hey guys i have question- well its more so a half-plan that can be blown to bits i should say:

    I was looking into Working-Holiday-Visa’s, being in the UK we’re lucky enough to have them and i have a couple of friends living in Tokyo who are teaching privately and it sparked an idea. From your experiences would you think it would possible to apply for a Work Visa after 8-12 months of teaching privately without a Bachelors Degree? (From experience alone) -You might have run into someone who has done something similar in the past; any info would be cool.

    Update: When i say “possible to apply for a Work Visa after 8-12 months” i mean finding sponsorship from a bigger company other than private schools (Sorry i wasn’t very clear on that.)

    @ヴィン Unfortunately I’ve never run into anyone in your particular situation before so I don’t think I’ll be of much help. I do know people who have taught in Japan without college degrees, but they were working for smaller English schools. It never hurts to try so my advice would be to send out some applications and see what happens.

    Yeah i figured it would be alot harder but i didn’t know if it was impossible or not. I finish my degree in two years either way- just looking at all my options. But thanks for the info dude.
