    hi everyone. sut want to share my problem..
    a japanese company/boss is not willing to give documents to sponsor my visa.. but is willing to give me a job!! I am offered a job through another foreign friend who’s in japan. The problem is my friend couldn’t ask this boss for documents to support my visa..

    Degree on non-degree holder…?? helps to get a degree of a more related, demanding field maybe..

    i finished master’s degree in economics in a japanese university under a grant from the japanese government.. i’ve another degree in management. Main problem, i think is that they (Japanese) fear of getting involved in visa processes, etc..

    I’m totally depressed and don’t know what to do back here in my country.. I wish to go back to japan and try finding a job…

    They are afraid basically of getting involved in immig talks, and yes, reason for hiring someone outside japan and proving that that not any local (or currently living foreign national) is more fit than i am for the job..

    Hello, my name is Gill Lawson. I am hoping to move to Yokohama in January. I am trying to get some information on teaching english there but I keep getting this, we can’t hire you over there but you can’t work here unless you have a visa. What do I need to do considering I have 5 weeks left before I’m either in Japan or on the streets. Any information would be a great help. GILL

    Gill, this kind of thing really does depend on the employers. I know some people have been able to organise teaching jobs before they arrived in Japan, but this was 3-4 years ago so maybe things have changed. Generally, when you’re moving to live in a different country, the more preparation, the better. (I had 12 months’ preparation before moving to Japan, but I still didn’t get a job until 5 months after I arrived.)

    For quality service and honest recruitment, I recommend Way Simmons Partnership in Kasumigaseki, and Legal Futures K.K. They’ve got almost all areas covered.
