Requirements for ESL Teaching Positions in Japan

To secure an ESL teaching position in Japan as a graduate, you typically need a bachelor's degree in any field. While a degree in English or Education is advantageous, it is not always a strict requirement. Additionally, most schools prefer candidates with a TEFL, TESOL, or CELTA certification. Some institutions may also require teaching experience, but this can often be fulfilled through internships or volunteer work. Fluency in English is essential, and knowledge of Japanese is usually not necessary.

Visa Process and Living in Japan as an ESL Teacher

Once offered a teaching position in Japan, the next step is obtaining a work visa. Most ESL teachers in Japan are sponsored on a Specialist in Humanities/International Services visa. The school or agency typically assists with the visa application process, which involves submitting various documents, including a valid passport, certificate of eligibility, and a detailed work contract. Upon arrival in Japan, ESL teachers can expect to receive support with finding accommodation, setting up a bank account, and navigating daily life in a new country.
