My understanding is that all three places you mentioned require a bachelor's degree in something (it doesn't have to be education or English). I know Japan does for sure.
You may be able to find something in China that doesn't require a degree, especially if you have some sort of experience or a TEFL cert of some sort. |

| A degree is necessary for all 3 countries mentioned. However, your boyfriend, I assume it is a he from your moniker, may be eligible for a working holiday visa where he could work p/t in Japan. Maybe you're a man, not sure as we have a guy here named sweetsee. |

| One of those countries accepts "life experience" degrees. |

| For those of you who have stated that a degree is needed, please read my response to this post in the Japan forum. |

Korea and Taiwan require degrees. Japan - has its exceptions.
Anyone thinking about a long-term EFL experience/career - needs to get a degree ASAP if not sooner. Not so much a problem for shorter term in Indonesia, much of South and Central America, non-urban China, and few other places. |
