and money ! But seriously guys, this is my situation:
I was educated in the UK and am a native English speaker but have an Indian Passport.
I'm 55 years old and in good health.
I have a Bachelors in History but I teach English-I also have a Bachelors in Education.
For personal reasons I need to settle in SE Asia, preferably in Indonesia & specifically in Bali.
I have about 10 years of part time undocumented Home School teaching experience & another 3 years of documented International School teaching experience in Bali.
I would prefer a school teaching job over ESL but am willing to try ESL if required. Online teaching is also an option. I would need at least US $ 1000 + accommodation from my day job.
What would you suggest I do to land a job in SE Asia, particularly Indonesia? I'm aware that many countries will only accept native speakers with relevant passports so I'm looking for any loopholes ie some schools bring in non native speakers under the category of Social Science Teachers and then get them to teach English. Lastly do I need a TEFL Certificate or is my Teaching degree enough? If not,which is the cheapest online recognized TEFL Course?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

To work as a native speaker you must have a passport from one of small list of countries.
India isn't on the list.

Well, going by this guy's posts on an expat forum, it would seem that he has found work in Surabaya.

Judging by your splurge of posts today Fred (just discovered this site hey?) you seem pretty knowledgeable about Indonesia - surely you know that nothing is impossible here?
