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.
