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.

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.

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.
