As a Japanese woman Iranian man couple (background) will we be allowed to travel to work in Japan?
We were both raised here but I am a Japanese female and my husband is an Iranian man background. Does the Japanese government base the decision on male or female sex of me? If there is a number of minimum required years we have been together 3.5 years. We also have been at this residence for 3.5 years. Thanks

Im not sure the detail of it, but one thing for sure is that japanese government doesn't have any issue with middle east people. they will treat you two as foreigner.

"We were both raised here " Where? Iran? It mostly depends on whether you actually have Japanese nationality. That would depend on whether your parents registered you with Japanese authorities. If you do, then you can move to Japan freely if you have a Japanese passport, you would need to establish an address before your husband could come though. If you have relatives here it would be best to arrange to stay with them for a few weeks while you try to rent a place. If you don't actually speak Japanese it would be extremely difficult. For your husband's spouse visa you'll need all his documents, proof that he had plenty of cash available, your documents, and your marriage certificate. It would also help if you enter the marriage on your koseki-tohon before you start the procedure. If everything's in order there shouldn't be a problem. But work might be difficult, jobs are rather scarce and if you and/or your husband can't speak Japanese you'll be very limited for choice. Japanese women can still remain Japanese when they marry a foreigner, and their children can also get Japanese nationality. It wasn't always this way, but it is now. And Japan has no argument with Iran, so that won't go against him unless he (or you) are on a list of suspected terrorists.

If you still hold Japanese citizenship, you should have no problems. Have you ever heard of Yu Darvish? He's an ace pitcher of the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters baseball team, and he's a mix of a Japanese mother and Iranian father, so there's no problem with Iranians in Japan.

Will I need a Work Visa, Travel Visa, or SOFA agreement to work in Japan
Will I need a Work Visa, Travel Visa, or SOFA agreement to work in Japan?
I am a US citizen traveling to Japan as a contractor working on a US military base for two weeksonly in 2011. Will I need to obtain a Tourist Visa, Work Visa, or SOFA agreement prior to departing or will my valid US Passport allow me access to Japan and US Army CAC allow me access to the military base?

This information should be (and I can't see any reason why it cannot be) sorted out with your job contractor or liaison with the US military directly. Essentially speaking, anything that has to do with the US military, SOFA and military bases do not go through "normal" Japanese immigration procedures, this is why you need to contact your company and work with the US military to find out the details. In post cases you still need your Passport. As to whether or not you need SOFA Status is up to the US government. Again it is best to ask them.

If you will work on a US base in Japan, someone there will arrange visa for you. So you do not have to worry about it so much.

How can I work in Japan
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.
