My friend is planning on jumping out of the US to be an EFLer in a couple years. She has no degree however, where in the world would she be able to teach? I'm pretty sure she'll be doing it for the experience as she has no student debt (and hence no degree).

Like I said though, she does have a couple years so she might be able to do a decent online training course(?) in the meantime.

Thanks for any suggestions.

In Japan, you need a degree or at least 3 years of related experience for a work visa. If she can get the latter, she's ok, but she'll still have to face the music about hiring.

She could also come on a student visa and work PT, or get a cultural activities visa to study a craft and work PT.

Indonesia has the lowest standards for teachers. And if your friend loves islands, its the perfect place to be (think Hawaii). However, most of them (if not all) will require that you commit to a 1 year contract.
