Perhaps this is a dumb question, but are there agencies in non-English countries who would hire a CD who only speaks English?

I’m thinking of places like Tokyo, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, etc.

There are, but always easier when 1) you are in a global network that can relocate you and sort out the visa for you; 2) you are senior enough to lead the business not just executing on things or coming up with ideas; 3) the agency has global clients. Honestly the real challenge may instead be understanding how advertising works for local consumers b/c advertising in US and Asia for example are just so different.
