Hello

I have been teaching English in Japan for one year

I am 20 year olds and on a working holiday visa, my company has offered to sponsor me a working visa.. I got all the paperwork right now.. except I dont have a degree its impossible.. but I would like to stay one year longer.. Do you absolutely need a college degree

I am a university student back home so the most I can offer is proof I study back home

Any advice would be great thanks

For a work visa, you need EITHER a college degree equivalent to a bachelor's degree OR a minimum of 3 years related work experience.

If you want to stay longer, you'll have to make other arrangements.

student visa (with special permission you can work PT)
cultural visa (with special permission you can work PT)

That's about it unless you get married awfully soon.
