What requirements do I need to have to teach English in Japan?

Question:

I've heard that I need a university degree, (if so, a degree in what?)
But I've also heard I only need my TESL.
I'm so lost....please help. >.<

Answer:

In most cases in order to work full time in Japan you need to have a University degree and you also require the backing of a company in Japan to sponsor your visa.

Most recruiters for English jobs in Japan will require the following:

1. Native English Speaker
2. Full Bachelor Degree (in any field)
3. Basic Japanese Ability

The market is really competitive now so they also prefer teaching experience and qualifications such as ESL, TEFL or CELTA.
Salary is usually around 240,000 - 255,000 yen per month depending on experience and qualifications.
