My question is if your just going to japan for like 2 weeks do you still need a visa.
I Mean if the money you were taking was just all changed in to Yen. WOuld you still need a visa for a short stay like I'm planning to do, within the next four or so years.

You'll be fine. Only need a visa if you're staying longer than 90 days...

Alright. Thanks. I'll have to keep that in mind then

That's is true but not for all countries. I think it was posted by Nyororin or jasonbvr, the countries that does not need visa to enter Japan if less than 90 days.

If a person has a bachelors in a specific field (eg: 3-4 years bachelors in computers). Would they be able to get a working visa?

yes that is required. The next would be the employer. :cool:

So in terms of working visa's theres no difference between a bachelors and a bachelors in a specific field?

ありがとう

The type of visa will be determined by the type of work you are doing, not by your degree. You have to be employed first, then you get the visa second. Not the other way around which I think is sometimes true in the US.

I was wondering about cultural visa's...is it possible for me to get a 6 month cultural visa for karate.

This is probably a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway. I'd be trying for an entertainer visa, and I doubt that I'll have an employer right off the bat. Do you get a temp visa and then apply for a more permanent one after gaining an employer?

Or does this mean I have to find an agency or some such before applying for a visa? The only one I know of requires you to already live in Japan.
