I want to settle or work in japan in the future?

Question

i am currently 2nd yr college here in Philippines. after finishing my course, i will work here(or in abroad for a year or 2) to get a work experience. Then after that, i'll be moving to Japan to settle there or maybe just work there. Can this be made possible? by the way, the course that i have taken is Hotel and Restaurant Management. Please help.

Answer 1

Before you do so, research and take under consideration the higher costs of living in Japan.  

Answer 2

I have personally visited Japan and I think it's an awesome country, I can't wait to go back. Working there would be a big step and you'd need to learn the language, and might not be paid as much as you're used to.

Answer 3

You might be able to get a job in a Filipino restaurant as a waitress. Management jobs mainly go to men.

Answer 4

A 2-year college degree is still a college degree, so you can get a work visa with it. Work experience will be a plus, but it should be directly related to your degree. That's because you need to get your work visa for a job that is directly related to your degree also.

If you have experience living in a foreign country, you should know there is a difference between alienation and discrimination. If you move to a foreign country, there will be many things that make you feel alienated, but that doesn't always mean there's intentional discrimination. For example, most Japanese are not Catholic, and they can be hostile to some Christian ideas. If you're a practicing Catholic and feel left out because of that, that's alienation and not discrimination.

It is also possible to get a work visa based on work experience unrelated to your degree, but in that case, you need 10 years of work experience. If it's related to your degree, 8 years will do.

Answer 5

I don't think you can do it so easily. The most available job for non-Japanese is English teacher. But you must be a native speaker of English to work as an English teacher in Japan.

The degree of Hotel and Restaurant Management from Philippines does not work in Japan at all.

Answer 6

Not likely. And you just can't move there.

Your classes will be of little value except maybe in a Filipino owned business. Other-wise you would need to be able to speak, read and write Japanese at a native level. Upper jobs will always go to a native Japanese first. Unless you have a special skill a Japanese doesn't have.Sorry.
