Does anyone know if you can teach in Korea without a degree? I am a Kiwi teacher with over 20 years experience, but only have a teaching diploma and part of a BA

You need to have a bachelors degree to get an E-2 visa. That visa is for EFL positions but some international schools use that visa too for their teachers.

An E-7 visa is supposed to be the one for certified teachers and other professionals. You need a teaching diploma for that one but I'm not sure whether you need a bachelors too. Check with the Korean Embassy nearest you to see if you need one.
