Islam: Apparently you are not allowed to work if you have a dependent visa. See http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/ particularly section IV.
Who do i see to get a Work holiday Visa?
Yolanda: Contact your local embassy.
what if your a military dependent, can i get a job off base? i was born and raised in japan but an american citizen. and if i do get caught what’s the worst that can happen to me?oh and do you have to have a college education to get a working visa?
i was married to japanese after 1 year of marriage she wanted divorce so we divorced i applied for long term resident visa to immigration but they said i have no right to stay in japan but my guarantor is the president of my company. then because they dont want to give me visa i remarried so i received extension visa but she also wanted divorce but i said no coz i will loose my visa i changed address and then i applied for extension but they never give me visa so before my visa expired i reapplied for long term resident visa coz japanese immigration law states that if your spouse died or get divorced you have a right for long term resident visa but again they refused but the saddest part was my father went to japan for medical reasons so i guarateed his hospital bills so immigration extended my fathers visa the question is why my father got extension and i did not I am the guarantor and the supporter of my father so my father was forced to leave japan under medication coz i cannot support anymore coz i was fired of my work when i told i did not get my visa and in that company i worked for amost 4 years. is that justifiable? japan is selfish and discriminate poor countries!
The japanese immigration and government treats a foreigner criminal when he overstays his visa according to the revised immigration law of japan why? People from poor countries in ASIA come to Japan only to work but if you harass these people thru immigration and police coz they are criminal according to your immigration law you only violate the fundamental rights of every human being you are a human rights violator. Are you not ashamed you are a member of the United Nations which signed for the protection of every Human Rights. I hope the ASEAN communities including China, India, New Zealand, and Australia exclude you the membership and must be liable of human rights you violated against the poor and developing countries.
can you work with a student visa
I’m currently in Japan, working, with a Working Holiday Visa. It expires soon, and so I have two questions.
Do you know if I can extend it more than once (I have already extended once)? Do you know of any way to change my visa status to a full Working Visa without having a university degree?
Thank you.
if a person who wants to apply for a working visa in japan, and he/she is Hepatitis B (+), can he/she still work in japan? or the case is automatically deferred?
Ian: If you already have a job then your employer may be able to sponsor your work visa. They would have to take it up with Immigration.
It is always better to get hired directly by a public or private (jr. / sr. High) school in Japan than to use a placement company which will take a large cut of your salary. To get a lot of these jobs you have to already be in Japan. Working for NOVA or some other eikawa is not such a bad thing as you can get your visa and be in Japan looking for something better. Usually a months notice gets you out of your contract. The Japan Times on Mondays lists Job Openings in all fields and Ohayo Sensei (online) lists teaching positions.
Dear sir
My name is Binaya Sharma and I’m 28 years old citizen of Nepal. I spent almost 7 years with out visa in Japan. And immigration deports me to my country about 1 month ago. But my girlfriend is Japanese citizen and she is coming to my country on May 20 and we plan to get marry soon. But I heard that Japan government is not providing visa for 5 years for those who became illegal stay in Japan. I’m really confusing with my life because I love to live in Japan and it’s not sure that my girlfriend will able to spend her life after marry in my country or not and within 7 years my all life style became Japanese it’s very difficult for me to lead my life here because I don’t have any work here if you have any idea about me to back Japan then please Sir I would like to humbly request your kind self to show me the right way.
My malign add is binaya_jp@yahoo.com or binnaho4ever@hotmail.com
Thank you very much for your kind cooperation
Sincerely
Binaya Sharma
Koji: It’s not just Japan: most developed nations take a dim view of people who overstay their visa. Unfortunately, there is no fundamental human right to live in Japan or in any other country. Your basic point is right: Japanese visas (and life in general) are easier for people from developed countries. Hopefully a way can be found to make it easier for everyone.
Unfortunately, like most developed countries, Japan is very strict about visas. It is very risky staying in a country without the proper permission — if they find out then it may be very difficult for you to return, even if you have a visa sponsor and so on.
Binaya Sharma: You may be able to argue your case, given that you plan to marry a Japanese citizen. You will have to talk to your Japanese embassy. See the embassy details.
Hi,
Im a Filipino musician and merried to a british national and carrying dependant visa in japan currently holding a working permit but only for day time job which is not good for me coz i only work at night time,
is it possible to change this permit to a night time job or do i need to provide some important documents to change it?
thanks a lot for help,
bryet: I don’t think you can change the conditions of a dependent visa. In that case you would need to apply for a change in visa status. I doubt such an application would be successful though.
Hi,
where can I get more info about requirements for self sponsored visa’s in Japan?
If possible please e-mail me, since I don’t have the time checking this site often!
Thanks TJ
Tj: The main thing you need in order to sponsor yourself is proof of income for the period of the visa. Usually this takes the form of work contracts with local companies promising to pay you some appropriate amount. I imagine this would be quite difficult to get as your first visa — more likely you would be already in Japan and working under some company’s sponsorship, and then transfer to a self-sponsored visa when you have a steady income.
Try the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website for more information; if you’re in Japan, you probably need to visit your local Regional Immigration Bureau.
i am an indian willing to go japan and live there.where can i get sponsered visas.if u have plz mail me.
Thanking u sir
I am a foreigner in Japan and have a Working Visa, which I’ve had for almost ten years. This year I married a Chinese woman in Japan (she had a 90 day visa) but we live in Japan. She now has a Dependent Visa, which she got at the end of June. She had to go back to China to apply for that visa, of course.
I was reading some of the earlier comments regarding people with Dependent Visas wondering if they can work in Japan. In August, my wife obtained permission to work up to 28 hours per week part-time from immigration. I went to immigration with her and had to show my Alien Registration Card to prove that I was working legally. The permit is small and attached to her passport
She doesn’t have a job yet, and we haven’t really started actively looking for one, but I guess she must show the permit to the prospective employer when she finds one. The permit expires when her dependent visa expires, and it did not cost anything.
I hope this information is helpful.
