The short answer is no in that even Doctors without Borders weren't allowed to do emergency aid work after recent major earthquakes in Japan. It is possible for a foreign doctor to get a medical license in Japan. There are two exams to pass. One is a Japanese proficiency exam, and the other is a regular doctor's exam that a fresh graduate from medical school should be taking. Suppose an Indian doctor has the necessary Japanese medical license (not impossible, but the proficiency in Japanese is the bottleneck). It probably won't be the Indian hospital that sends the doctor to Japan. Japanese hospitals aren't recruiting in India either, so it's really the doctor making the move to Japan on their own prerogative.

I don't think there are "foreign hospitals" in Japan. We have only Japanese hospitals. And they don't need to hire foreign doctors. So the short answer is NO.
3 :
No chance.
4 :
No chance because all medical doctors must have passed Japanese exam sucessfully to be qualified officially as to behave any medical treatment or consultation in Japan. Why don't Indian hospital invite Japanese patients to take medical treatment instead. Many Thailand hospitals are doing that kind of profitable business now already.

I am a US citizen and my wife has US green card. Now I work in Japan. How can we keep the US green card
I am a US citizen and my wife has US green card. Now I work in Japan. How can we keep the US green card?
I was not sent to Japan by a US company. Before coming, I heard that if we continue filing US federal taxes, my wife can keep her US green card. Is this true or do I have to bring her back to US every 6 months to keep her green card active?

Neither of your "options" is correct. You may file taxes as a nonresident. The card is not an ATM-like card that needs to be "activated" or "kept active". It doesn't work like that. Your wife can protect her status by obtaining a REENTRY PERMIT from the CIS. It is valid for a period of two years. She may reapply for another one if needed, as the document itself cannot be renewed. It is not issued overseas. She can stay out while the reentry permit is valid, and must reenter the U.S. before it expires. The only question someone will ask if you renew a reentry permit is what is her actual intent? If she cannot show an intent to return to the U.S. and resume her residence, the CIS does not have to renew the reentry permit. They have that option, and they may ask her to surrender her green card. I guess the big question here is, how long to you plan to stay in Japan? Is it your intent to return to the United States? Another thing to remember is that the time spent away does not count towards establishing residence in the U.S. for naturalization purposes.

on returning to the states your wife can apply for permanent residency (because she is your wife) and therefore doesn't need a green card. Before permanent residency is granted she is able to work in the US. Once the marriage has been proved "lasting" the INIS will grant her permanent residency (almost never refused)
4 :
To keep green card, she'll need to spend over 6 months in the US. it can be as much as 6 months and one day! if you already have your passport then your okay. you can stay out of the us as long as you wish. as far as the taxes, i'm not really sure.
5 :
you can apply for a I-131 (application for extended stay outside of country) this your wife has to do while in the U.S . She does not have to wait for application to be approved before going to Japan however. On the form she can ask for extension to be sent to aU.S embassy in Japan which will post it to you!! This i-131 is valid for two years only. It will cost $305 for this application. However this will affect her time on applying for citizenship as the time she has already spent in U.S will not count . She will start from day one when re-entering U.S so she will have to wait a further 3-5 years to become a citizen!! if your wife does not apply for this and spends more than a year out of the U.S , it is considered an abandonment of residency and she will no longer be considered a permanent resident and as such you will have problems getting your wife back into U.S.

I want to work in Japan but don't have a degree. Are there any ways around this
I want to work in Japan but don't have a degree. Are there any ways around this?
I'm 19, from the UK and have a National Diploma. Are there any ways to gain a working visa for Japan without having a degree. Can work experience substitute instead? What do i need without question? Thanks

Yes-you are from the UK so you could get a working holiday visa, which is actually the most desirable kind from the job-hunting perspective. You could also work up to 20 hours a week on a pre-college or a culture visa. They are a lot stricter nowadays about making sure you are actually attending classes, etc., but it's not as if someone follows you around and keeps track of how many hours you work. For the purpose of language teaching it's only contact hours that count towards your 20 in any case. Culture visas used to be abused back in the day and there was a crackdown, but it is still possible to obtain one if you are really keen on karate or tea ceremony or whatever. Obviously you couldn't be on a working holiday or student visa forever, but you could spin it out a couple of years. What you need without question is money, but you don't actually have to have cash to meet the working holiday financial requirement-a letter of credit will do. So save up your money and just go.

You're in luck, you have several options available to you. The first is to get a 4 year degree or equivalent. The second is to marry a Japanese national. The third is to have 10 years of documented experience (which means you can only work in that field). The fourth is to go on a working holiday which means you're limited to only working for 20 hours a week. Those are your choices.

Working-Holiday visa is totally different from Working visa. You may enjoy it if you have enough stock in your back pack, otherwise, all you have to do would be hell damned English teacher without any net income. It is because using working-holiday visa, you are only allowed to work within few money by which you absolutely can't survive in. You'll soon have to be obliged to take some illegal side-jobs either way, if you don't have enough budget to stay there in advance. Without having 4 year degree or equivalent, it is hardly get any sponsor who can apply C.O.E. for you in Japan to apply the WORKING visa. In addition, due to heavily recession at the moment, not so many companies are looking for new intellectual foreign employee there. No Japanese language skill as same as mother tongue can let you qo real quick to apply working visa to Japan if you understand the reality.
