Probably, you just said "Nah" to the title, yet I'm glad you're nevertheless reading this post.

TL;DR

What would you do if you were a foreign developer without CS degree, who wants to get a job in other countries.

I'd really appreciate if you could share your thoughts and advice, or your stories and the reality in your country.

Here is my list of api to get a job abroad(get a work-permit/visa).

Options

GET /Master of CS
GET /Online CS degree
POST /internship_application
GET localhost:Tokyo/jobs?purpose=to_earn_more_dev_experience
GET localhost:Tokyo/jobs?has_branch_abroad=true&visa_sponsored=true
OPTIONS /bootcamp_and_look_for_job
DELETE /developer_careers_and_go_for_saxophone_player

Please tell me if you have any ideas for better apis!

Master of CS

It will definitely make it easier to get a visa.
But getting CS degree especially in the US costs a lot, not everyone can afford it and I'm not sure if it's worth taking a couple of years.

Online CS degree

Some people get online certifications or think of it, such as MOOC, Coursera, Udacity or UOP.
They are usually much cheaper and shorter to get than getting a degree offline although I'm not sure if you can use it as valid certificate to get a visa.

UOP University Of the People

Internship

Anyway move abroad first and apply for internships or jobs, hopefully to get a job. very optimistic.

Work in Tokyo.

I feel like this option is too realistic for me to go with.

So I wanted to know if there is any possibility for foreign developers without CS degree to work in other countries.
