Working in Japan

Working and living in Japan is a desire that many people share. In this ever increasing globalized world, an overseas experience not only helps one’s life experience but also can prove beneficial to a professional career. Japan has become extremely popular recently with the proliferation of the manga and games industry, as well as the Cool Japan initiative promoting cultural aspects of modern Japan. Japanese pop music along with lifestyle trends populate popular magazines all around the world, and people have gravitated to this. Not to mention, the traditional culture of the country also attracts an older, more professional group who are looking to explore and experience the tranquility and famed politeness of the society. There is no shortage of reasons to live and enjoy Japan, but the main issue is how exactly to do so? We will answer a few of these questions. Unless you are married to a Japanese national, holding a college degree is a requisite in obtaining a working visa. There is the exception for non-Americans from countries including the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, etc. to come to Japan on a working holiday visa which allows such individuals to work in Japan for a limited period of time.
