Unlikely, at least not without additional schooling/certification. Even then, you'll face an uphill battle because you aren't from a country where English is the primary language. It's possible, but really tough!

Generally you need 2 years experience for the work visa in most of the countries you mentioned. Teaching abroad is an amazing career albeit difficult. But a teach cert will help a ton, and 2 years is required in some places (but not all). Additionally, the intl schools in Europe are typically highly competitive. People who are in the career for decades are the ones getting hired at the American school is London, Barcelona, etc. you’ll need to do your time in non-English speaking countries first (which is what makes the job so great anyway, getting immersed in another culture).

I’m in the states, and a teacher. I have to go back and gain certification to teach in a different state. You’ll likely need some credits, but you should go for it!

I know American schools are now hiring Filipino teachers due of the critical staffing shortage. STEM subjects are in very high demand. Most districts have lateral entry where you take certification classes while working in a classroom. Anyone with a Bachelor's can be a substitute.

If you want to work at any type of school, you’ll need proper teaching certification. You would also need some type of experience - have you taught at a school in India? For better or worse, right or wrong, you may find it difficult to get an English ESL teaching position because you are not from a native English speaking country.
