Wow! It certainly has been a while since I've been on these forums.

oreads, I suggest you contact the Japan visa office to clarify exactly what amounts you need for self-sponsorship. Has been a while since I've done it. I think at the time, the minimum monthly salary that you must show is around 160,000 yen - rather low and easily obtainable.

Just get that list of schools / students that want you to teach them and take it to your local visa office in Japan. But definitely speak to someone in the visa office, get their name and then go to that visa office with all the documents you were told to bring.

Good luck and let me know how goes.
