I have plans for my future that will hopefully come true. I read up that if you get an artist visa you would only be able to stay 3 years? How often are artist visas denied? And are you able to work like at a store or something? Just anything at all? And what colleges accept Americans most of the time? I'm 15 and speak Japanese fluently, I'm just planning ahead. :p I have a million and one questions, but can someone please just answer these for me now please? Thanks.

Try the web site below. It's run by the Japanese government. Unless you're there on a work visa, you can only work part time. So you're going to need a great deal of money before you even attempt this. A four year college will cost you some $80,000.Most schools also require native level Japanese. So that means reading and writing as well. On the MOFA web site you'll see a photo of Mt. Fuji. Under that it will say Visas. Click on that and it will tell you what visas are currently available.

Check the below page for visas. http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/04.html >I read up that if you get an artist visa you would only be able to stay 3 years? You need entertainer visa to work as an artist. But there is no 3 year visa for artists. You could only have 1-year, 6-month and 3-month visa. >How often are artist visas denied? In fact, it's not easy to get entertainer visa for Japan. Deny? You can't even apply if you don't find a sponsor for you visa in Japan. >And are you able to work like at a store or something? Just anything at all? If you have entertainer visa, you can only work as an entertainer. Not other jobs. >And what colleges accept Americans most of the time? If you speak Japanese at college level and have enough money, you can go to any college. >I'm 15 and speak Japanese fluently, I'm just planning ahead. :p Fluently? Why don't you ask this on Y!A Japan?
