What is required to obtain a religion based work visa in japan

What is required to obtain a religion based work visa in japan?
I have been looking into being a missionary in Japan and was wondering what the requirments to obtain a work visa in this field was. Additionally, if you have a work visa for missionary activities are you able to obtain income by working a side job? I can't find a Japan immigration .org, and if you are refering to the website for the embassy, it's far too vauge.

I think that there are countries that do not allow missionaries, even in these "enlightened days." But, Japan being a democratic country is more discrete. Also, it is nearly impossible to get a work visa for Japan, unless it for an established company with which you already work. The same would hold for religious work. You should have an assignment with a church which is already firmly established in Japan. The US State department may offer you advice on this matter.

No, that phone will not work in Japan... Wrong technology... You will need a GSM phone carrier. ATT, T-Mobile. Be careful, talk time is very expensive. Might be a lot cheaper to use Skype, or even a calling card... Hope this helps!

Most laptops work fine, and will adapt voltage automatically. If it needs a 3-prong power connection, you may want to buy a 3-prong-to-2-prong adapter, since almost all power plugs in Japan are 2-prongs only. Edit: 2 prong and 3 prong means the type of power plug, if there are 2 parts that plug into the wall then it's 2 prongs. You can get an adapter at Radio Shack or a good hardware or electronics store.

your laptop will work but idk about your internet connection ..i have a japanese laptop and it works fine in the states
3 :
Yes, it will work. Like siad before you will need a 3 prong to 2 prong converter. About the internet, if you have a hard connection it will work perfectly. If you're using wireless you will have a few problems. They use a different style of wireless that your card will be able to pick up, but will not get a clear connection and the computer will not realize it's connected. Either way, geting computer software in Japan is as easy as looknig for a fish in an aquarium. You can go to the tech center, or any shopping center will have a yodobashi, or a bik camera.

I think that it should; my uncle and aunt both have one that they brought from Texas and it works in Japan.
5 :
Yes it will work. Wireless internet connection may or may not be as smooth. If you have problems you should be able to get a tech guy to get you on wireless, otherwise you can just hook it up to a cable modem. =)

Bachelors degree? Masters? You will need to know Japanese if you do not have Masters or above.
2 :
first of all, do you speak/undestand japanese? if you do, no matter you graduate evenm highschool or not, as long as you can speak and understand japanese language. all you have to do is just visit a nearby japanese embassy.
3 :
Do you speak Japanese at all? If you want to work in Japan, you have to speak, read, write Japanese unless you work as an English language teacher. (you're not a native speaker of English, right?) There are so many people like you recently who want to come and live in Japan(><) What kind of help you want? Finding a job? Many Japanese people are out of work at the moment. To be very honest with you, your chance for getting a job in Japan is 0% now. But if you learn Japanese and save some money like US$30,000.00 then you can travel to Japan and can live for some months or a year. No one helps but yourself. You must work your way before coming to Japan. Good luck! いきなり知らない人に助けてって言われてもねぇ...無茶だと思う。 日本も今,皆自分のことで手一杯ですから...世の中は甘くないよ! この程度の日本語が読めるようになってからの話だと思う。
