However I was not wrong about working holiday visas, those are deals arranged between countries. Take a look here for all those visa questions you have on your mind:

MOFA: A Guide to Japanese Visas - Documents to Be Submitted with Visa Applications

i'm new to this forum, so i'm not quite sure if this inquiry has been addressed before (my apologies to all). i am considering a job offer for japan, and it starts january. the salary is entry-level; this would be my first stint as a programmer, if ever i take it. the contract length is one year.

reading through some posts in this forum, i believe that the salary ill be getting is enough for me to get by okay. however, i would like to be able to save up a bit as well, without having to give up a few things. so, i was thinking, maybe i could get a part-time job teaching english in japan.

and then i find out there are different types of working visas (good thing you guys have these fora, thanks)... does that mean i can say goodbye to that teaching idea?
