Question living in japan - 02-29-2008, 08:44 PM

Is it possible to move to japan without any college degree whatsoever? im just tired of the states and want a change i dont mind being a poorguy who works at the docks or in some other deadend job. But will they even let me in their country without a college degree? Any information regarding this would be greatly appreciated.

In as few words as possible: no.

Not unless you're married to a Japanese national, a student enrolled in a Japanese school or exchange program, or you only want to be there for 90 days or less on a tourist visa. Keep in mind, though, you cannot work on a tourist visa.

as i have said before, some people manage to get sponsored for a visa with a degree but i certainly wouldn't be counting on this. Trying this and i think you will find yourself going back home without a job and have wasted a lot of money and time. get a degree.
