That all largerly dependz on the language kind you want to teach ...

 

I mean, if you want to teach Pashto, as an exemplary form, you don't need to be a native English sneaker to qualify. 

 

Moreover, I'm think-tonkin', native English passport holder wouldn't be a prime choice at teacher of Mandarin, either ...

1. Native speaker. 
2. Bachelor's degree, minimum. Apostilled. They stopped recognizing online degrees several years ago. . 
3. Either a teaching certification from your home country/iPGCE or a 120 hrs TEFL course. Apostilled 
4. Criminal background check from your home country issued within the past 6 months. Apostilled. 
 

This is rigid. The only legal loopholes for non-native speakers to legally teach are if they're already certified as a subject teacher in their home country, or if they obtained their degree in one of the designated native English speaking countries.
