What do you have to do before you move to Japan?

Question

I plan on moving to Japan after I finished school in 6 yrs so what do I have to do and how much does it cost to go there and how much money should I bring and what jobs can I get 4 english or american people??

Answer 1

The first thing you should realize is that you just can't move there. Period. It's not allowed. It's not like moving from New York to California.

  Japan has a very tight immigration policy.

Outside of teaching English, jobs will be few and far between. Unless you have a special skill a Japanese doesn't have.

Most Americans teach English. You need a four year degree to qualify for this. You need a work visa. And to get a work visa you need a job offer before you get there.

Other jobs would require that you speak, read and write Japanese at a native level. Can't even work at a KFC without knowing that.

And why would you want to move to a country you know nothing about ?

Answer 2

Well said Carl_ the truth's. That's what I'm talking about!

I answered the same question above.  Are you graduating from college in 6 years? If you do, you can find English teacher job. Other jobs are very difficult.

Answer 4

First thing you should do is to study Japanese very hard.  No Japanese company will hire you without Japanese language skills. Start now! Then, you should find a job in Japan, perhaps they can help you to get a work visa.  Try JET program.  A job to teach English is easily find, I think.  Otherwise, it will be very hard to find a job in Japan, unless your job here in America or England will send you to Japan.
