How can I work in Japan?
I'm not a student, but I'd like to fly to Japan and find a job there. Nothing high or something. Just an ordinary looking job. I'm a man. Can I go to your country, stay there and try to look for a job and some education also? Is it possible to emigrate or something? Can you help me? some suggestions?

You can go for up to 3 months and look for work (but not earn money), but after that- in order to actually make money and not be a tourist anymore, you will need a sponsoring full time position OR a university to accept you and send in the paperwork to get you a visa as a student or as a worker. But jobs arent easy to find- especially if you arent fluent in Japanese because of the economy.
2 :
You need a University degree in order to legally work in Japan. You are not allowed to work on a Temporary Visitors visa. And, you need to find an employer who will sponsor you. This MUST be done in your home country and NOT in Japan. You cannot just emigrate to Japan. Even marrying a Japanese national will not guarantee a proper visa. www.mofa.go.jp

Are you American ? You can stay up to 90 days on a visitor visa. It can be renewed only once in a 12 month period.It's not legal to work on a visitor visa. To work in Japan you need a four year degree.You also need a work visa,and to get the work visa you need a job offer before you get there. There's two problems with "ordinary jobs",1) most of these would require native level Japanese.2) These jobs will always go to a native Japanese first.Japan is in their worse recession since WWII.Many Japanese are having trouble finding work.About the only jobs available are teaching English and high tech jobs. It's possible to immigrate,but it's not easy to do so.If it were,I'd be there myself.

no not easily, but you can try.

You usually need working or student visa to live in Japan. For working visa, you have to get a job offer from a Japanese company. But you can't look for a job in Japan without a visa. So you need it before you enter Japan. For student visa, you have to be admitted to a Japanese college. You need to pay tuition and living cost for 4 years. It could be about $80,000. If you want to become a Japanese citizen, you have to keep living in Japan for more than 5 years without a pause. Then, you will be eligible to apply for citizenship. But you need more like stable income, sufficient reason, Japanese language skill and so on if you want your application to be accepted. You can apply for Permanent Residence of Japan under the same condition. And this is relatively easier than citizenship.

Do I need to go to University to work in Japan
Do I need to go to University to work in Japan?
So I want to become a graphic designer and then move to Japan and work there as a graphic designer( Yes I am studying Japanese right now ^.^). But see I heard the only way to get a job in Japan is if you went to university for your education. So if I go to college for graphic design and get a BA degree...will I still be able to get a job in Japan?

I'd go get that degree, yeah. :] Good luck!

I highly recommend getting a degree. Remember that you will be competing with MANY people for jobs, and the only way to get the interview will be by selling yourself on paper via your resume. Having a university degree gets you in the door, especially in Japan where education is both regimented and highly regarded. You may want to look at approaching your entrance to Japan in another manner. With a Bachelor's degree, you could easily get a job teaching English there. While doing this, you could work on your portfolio in your spare time, perfect your Japanese (gambatte, ne!), and do research on prospective employers in your area. I get the sense that you have two separate desires: first to become a graphic designer, second to live in Japan. Get the BA to demonstrate a commitment to your education that the Japanese will expect, and let your passion show through when you do get there, however you do it. Best of luck!

short answer, no. studying on and off for six years, speaking it almost every day for the last 4 and keeping the next test in my sights, i got to JLPT1 on my own. the average language course gives you about 40-45 (up to 90 or more) contact hours a year. japanese needs about 2-3 times the amount of study time to reach a comparative skill level in an easy language (native english speaker studying spanish for example). also total skill (speaking, reading, writing) is more difficult to attain in japanese. this page: http://www.jlpt.jp/e/about/content.html shows the criteria for study. the lowest qualification, currently level 4, suggests 150 hours of study. that said it totally depends on what kind of work you want to do. going there and teaching english for a couple of years (no japanese skill necessary) while studying before moving on to a 'real' job might be a good idea. if you want to work full-time in a japanese company then your first goal would be JLPT1, then JETRO (over 700) then the kanji test the japanese take (level 3 or 4 or better). the last advice is given considering total skill basically equivalent to a native japanese. otherwise an elementary course during the year before you come and easing into a more and more japanese orientated work environment while studying a lot should be fine as well.

Yes, but you will learn more when you actually go to Japan than you do here unless you make some Japanese environment for yourself. I learned Japanese in a short time with immersion. So try doing the same thing for yourself.
3 :
4/5 years is more than enough! some people just go to language school and become fluent in 1-2 years try http://www.japaneseclass.jp the site is new, still building social community, it can be more fun in the future. in there you can learn Japanese for free Learn Japanese Practice, improve and enrich your vocabulary and kanji Motivate yourself from the EXP you earned and get ranked among others Organize your learning - don't get stuck, learn Japanese level by level. know where to begin and where to continue Watch Japanese videos, while you can also enrich your vocabulary and kanji by taking the practice tests from the vocabulary list of each video.
