You can get in without a 4 year degree, as I say, but it's the first thing they look for, and if you don't have it, you have to present all these substitutions for it.

Do you agree this is accurate?
It would be more accurate to say that the only case they will choose someone without a degree is when there is no one with a degree available who fits their requirements.
I was pointing out that this is a VERY rare scenario. Sure, it could happen, but counting on it is sort of like deciding to base your finances around winning the lottery.

And in the end, just because the company agrees to hire you, there is no assurance that you`ll be granted a visa. Trust me on this. My husband`s father has been trying to get a number of 10+ years experience workers from overseas to come to his company for YEARS, but has been turned down every time. And these ARE very specialized workers whose skills aren`t even available in Japan.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
