I just told you that point a, b and 1 are not as strict as you people make it out to be, especially not for people who already have a company with the Working Holiday Visa. The Company your working for decides this not the Government. If they would like to keep you, they will apply for your Visa. also, those articles seem to be very, very old because you don't have to go back to your home-country anymore either. |

If so, then the rules are not held as strictly as I once thought they were. I'm not all that familiar with changing WHV to Working (even though I'm from the UK), so it seems like this is an interesting loophole. |
Sorry to take an old conversation into a new flow, but have you perhaps considered countries which aren't as bureaucratic and saturated as Japan?? Perhaps Southeast Asia?? Maybe even China/Korea? If you find Japan is too hard to break into, consider teaching in these places as a résumé filler.

I would probably go to Thailand if I was you. Should be by far the easiest way to teach and live.. also the by far cheapest. |
Bobby is right in his statement about you don't have to have a degree but you need a company who is willing to sponsor your visa. There is no law that states you cannot work in Japan without a degree.
The kid could become a bartender at a gaijin bar if the business was willing to sponsor his visa. He could work for a US company with ties to Japan and be transferred. There are tons of ways to be able to live and work in Japan..Jet and the English speaking route is just the most commonly known/successful way. |

I think it will depends on the type of VISA. I have no idea about working holiday visa though. But I have an Engineers Visa, and you definitely need a degree to get the COE. I think the Entertainment visa does not need a degree too. My bf first had an Instructor visa, and he was asked a Diploma to apply for his COE but when he switched to Humanities Visa, he was just asked to have a proof that he is working for companies. I guess Bobby's friend went for the Humanities Visa. Make sense. |
If you have a unique skill (as well as performing it for awhile) and a company that will hire you, you can get a visa.
