I’m a non-native English speaker planning to apply for the 技術・人文知識・国際業務 visa (Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services) in Japan(Currently residing in Japan as a dependent).
I’ve already received a job offer and visa sponsorship for an English teaching position(Ekaiwa). However, my bachelor’s degree is in business studies, not in English or education, and I don’t have formal teaching certifications like TEFL or TESOL.
I’ve heard that there can be challenges in obtaining the visa as a non-native English teacher, especially with a degree unrelated to English. Has anyone else been in this situation? If so, how did your visa application go? Were there any hurdles you faced?
