 | Yes....that question again! Hi All, Very impressed with the site and how friendly and informative members are in the forums. Keep up the good work guys! I'm a male aged 29 with an keen interest in Japan and it's culture but unfortunately have no university education/degree. I am looking to live/work over there for at least 12 months and see teaching as a good opportunity to do this. What would I need to obtain (training etc) in order to teach english in Japan? Is a tesl degree on it's own enough? Will I have difficulty getting a working visa? Also, I don't know if this may help or not but I have a very close japanese friend who is resides in Tokyo. Any help/advice would be much appreciated! Thanks, Sean. Last edited by gfell; Fri 19-May-06 at 03:15 AM. |

You can only get a working visa if you hold a minimum 3-year degree. Having friends in Japan wont help with your job prospects. Holding a working holiday visa, a TESL certificate and being in Japan will be sufficient.

| Many thanks gfell! Would you know by any chance..... Upon receiving a working visa how long I would have before I had to use it? Does the 30 yr cut off mean I have to enter Japan before my 30th birthday? Thanks again, Sean. |

For Australian passport holders, the Sydney Consulate General of Japan is the best place to start for information.
