Inventory 13 visa method for moving to Japan!

# Japanese Immigrants # Introduction How does an ordinary person immigrate to Japan? Inventory 13 visa method for moving to Japan! Moving abroad for a period of time-or permanently-is one of many milestones that young people today want to experience before settling down. There are many reasons why we decide to live abroad-exploring culture, continuing our studies, working and earning more money, etc. In many Asian countries, Japan is still one of the most attractive places for foreigners to settle down, especially Americans and Europeans. Japan is also a country with traditional and seasonal festivals, gathering many local people and foreign tourists. Throughout the year, we never lack festivals and witness and experience them all over the country. Among these festivals, the three most important ones are Kanda Festival, Tenjin Matsuri Festival and Garden Festival. The following is compiled and published!

1. Inventory 13 Visa method for immigration to Japan.

At the same time, the younger generation is attracted by Japan's vibrant pop culture-anime series and movies, comic series, role-playing conferences, Kawaii street fashion, video games, Japanese idols (ァィドル), J-Pop and J-Rock, to name a few. Tokyo, especially Shibuya, Akihabara and Harajuku, is a paradise for young otaku in other countries. There are not many ways to immigrate to Japan, but there are still many visa ways to immigrate to Japan. In my opinion, getting a visa has three variables: language, study and money. Knowing Japanese opens many doors for you, not only in terms of visas, but also in terms of job hunting time. If you have a higher education (bachelor's degree), you will be able to apply for a work visa easily, because it is almost an indispensable requirement. Of course, if you have money, you don't need more.

1. tourist visa

Many people ignore this option when considering coming to Japan for a long time, but the reality is that according to the agreement with your country/region, you can stay in that country for several months (for example, EU citizens can stay in Japan for a total of 180 days a year). This is a good choice for your first contact with the country.

If you are a freelancer, or if you work from home, it is easy to move for your client or company and continue to work here. You can take advantage of short-term accommodation institutions of serviced apartment or foreigners, shared apartments, "airbnbs" and so on. As long as you don't work in a Japanese company, your online work during your stay is completely legal.

2. Exchange students

Some schools and universities have reached agreements with Japan to offer courses in the center of Japan for several weeks or months. There are also many private companies that organize exchanges. Another good choice is to take summer courses, so that you won't miss the courses in your country/region. As far as I know, in these projects, you can choose to live in a host family, which makes the experience more interesting. It seems a good choice to learn about local life, learn languages and make friends. If you have the money to pay for such courses, you can find a school without any problems, but what if we don't have enough money? This is where one of the options to come to Japan comes into play: scholarships.

3. Japan Scholarship

There are many scholarships to choose from: from your government, the European Union, Japanese universities and so on. Here are some options:

3. 1 Small Scholarship

MEXT Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology accepts applications from foreign students to study in Japan. There are different types of scholarships: universities, master's degrees, doctoral degrees, research, teaching ... you should look for information on the website of the Japanese Embassy in your country.

3.2JASSO scholarship

JASSO (Japan Student Service Organization) provides information on how to come to Japan as a student in different ways, including their own scholarships.

3.3 Vulkensas Plan

This scholarship convened by the European Union is mainly aimed at engineering students. Thanks to it, you will be able to learn Japanese and practice in a Japanese company.

3.4 Minerva Plan

These are six-month research scholarships for any professional or researcher from European countries. You can choose from the list of research topics you need, or you can propose them yourself. You must submit a report at the end of your stay.

3.5JSPS scholarship

JSPS (Japan Association for the Advancement of Science) provides a wide range of short-term and long-term research grants in Japan.

4. Japanese students

If you want to live here for a few years, it is a good choice to come to school to learn Japanese. The duration of a student visa is 6 months and the longest is 2 years. The point is, as a student, you can work part-time (up to 28 hours a week), which will make it easier for you to get a work visa in the future. I can assure you that once you get a work permit, it is much easier to find a job than to find a company in your home country. Besides, in those months at school, you will learn languages, which is a great advantage. The problem is that the fees of these schools are usually relatively high. I suggest you choose this option, which can save a lot of money. Of course, you can also enter these schools through tourist visas, but if you want to stay longer, you need to find a school that can get a student visa. If you need help in this process, there are also some companies that can help you with paperwork, accommodation and so on.

5. English teacher

If English is your mother tongue, you will be very familiar with the choice of teaching English in Japan. Besides, this is one of the few choices, and you can easily find a job from your own country. It's a pity that the demand for other languages is not as good as that of English, but it's all a question of learning, whether it's the way you want to go.

6. Working holiday plan

This is an option that I have always recommended to everyone. This is definitely an option that requires less and gives you more advantages. Unlike a student visa or a family visa, it allows you to stay in Japan for one year and have the right to work without time limit. If this program is available in your country/region and you are underage, please do not hesitate to apply for this visa. I used it to come to Japan, and everything was quickly and easily available.

7. Internship

People who come to Japanese companies for internship have a special visa (this visa belongs to the "designated activity" group). If your university offers this possibility, you can practice here for several months (even a year), which is very useful for your resume and your first contact with Japanese business circles. I know many people who come here like this. Although it looks like a temporary visa, if the company hires you after the internship, you will get a valuable work visa.

8. Work visa

Now, let's talk about the work visa. Before talking about this, I have talked about several ways to become a student, a scholarship winner, an intern, etc. Why? Because I think it will be much easier to get a work visa once you are already in Japan. Finding a company that can bring you from your country to your side is much more complicated.

In the work visa group, there are many categories according to your industry, but they all have one thing in common: you must have received higher education or proved some experience. Usually, a bachelor's degree is a prerequisite for visa approval. Otherwise, you usually need 3 to 10 years of experience in your field.

9. visas for artists, photographers, musicians, dancers, etc.

These visas belong to the category of "work visas", but I want to talk about them in more detail because someone asked me this question. For this kind of visa, you may not need a college degree, but you must prove in detail that you are a professional in this field, and recognize the activities you will carry out in this country, the company you will cooperate with, the duration of your project, your income and so on. You can't get these visas unless you have signed a reliable contract or agreement with a Japanese company in advance. I have a photographer friend who came here with this visa. I know it is not easy to get (and keep) ... but it is not impossible.

10. Freelance visa (self-funded visa)

If we are self-employed, what choice do we have? Do freelancers have visas? Yes or no, when my work holiday visa is coming to an end, the first way I try to take is to apply for a "self-funded visa", because before that, I worked as a freelancer in different companies in Japan and abroad. I went to the immigration office to see if anyone knew about it, and I was surprised to find that they had no idea what I was talking about. The bad news is that online visas, commonly known as "self-funded visas", are not like this. This method of applying for a visa is only a work visa, not a proof that you have signed a contract with a company. You must do the same thing for all different customers. Because it is not official, the official page has no specific data, but according to my understanding during my study, you must show all your contracts, payrolls and so on with Japanese companies. (importantly, if you work in an external company, it doesn't count) prove that you will have a stable income of at least 3 million yen every year. In addition, like a work visa, one of the customers must act as a "guarantee" company, fill in and sign their "hanko" (stamped) main application form. In short, it is similar to the process of' work visa', except that there are more steps and the risk of visa refusal is high. But, hey, that doesn't mean it's impossible! I know that some people have renewed their visas for several years in this way, so I have evidence to prove that it can be done.

1 1. Business manager visa and entrepreneur visa

If you want to do business in Japan, you need a "business manager visa". Among them, you must prove that you have a capital of 5 million yen, have a physical office in Japan, submit a business plan, prove that your salary is enough to live in that country, and hire at least one employee.

The "Business Start-up Visa" program is a temporary license to help entrepreneurs who have no time or resources to apply for the "Business Manager Visa" directly. More flexibility is needed, but this is not a long-term solution, because the idea is that after 6 months or a year (depending on the country), your enterprise will be eligible to apply for a business manager visa. Please pay attention to /Groupon_2.html for the guide to visa application in Japan.

12. Mechanic

You may wonder what a job that doesn't require higher education will be like. Just a year ago, the government issued new visas, focusing on workers in construction, agriculture, hotels, pension and other industries. But don't think this visa is cost-effective, because they require a lot, such as proving your skills and basic Japanese level through tests (N4). It also has many shortcomings, for example, your total stay in the country cannot exceed five years, which is incompatible with "visa dependence" (that is, you can't bring your spouse or children into the country). Of course, you need to sign a contract with the company that sponsors your application for this visa.

13. Family visa and spouse visa

If you marry a non-Japanese working in Japan, you can apply for a family visa. With this visa, you can live in this country, but your working hours are limited to 28 hours a week. This visa is also used to bring your children to this country. Please note that not all work visas are compatible with family visas. For example, if you get a "working holiday" or "skilled worker" visa, your family will not be eligible for a family visa.

If you marry a Japanese, you will be able to apply for a spouse visa. This visa allows you to work full-time (and other benefits). Remember, in this case, you are directly dependent on your marriage, so in case of divorce (or death of your spouse), you will lose your visa. If you don't get another visa to stay in the country, you will have to leave Japan.
