Teaching in Taiwan with a 2/3rds online degree?

Hi all,
I’m currently applying for TEFL jobs in Taiwan. Come summer I will have graduated with a bachelor’s degree from a physical university - the only problem is that for the first two years of my degree program I was studying at The Open University, which though accredited is an online school.
My degree will say the name of my physical uni on it, but my transcripts will explain that I was at a remote uni for the first two years. A recruiter that I spoke to today told me that Taiwan doesn’t accept ESL teachers who’ve done their degrees at online unis - at the same time, he seemed to think that because I’ll be graduating from a brick uni it might not matter.
Is this issue going to stop me from teaching in Taiwan? I really want to teach there, and the thought of being unable to makes me very sad
