4. What are the steps for foreigners to reach permanent work in Japan?
5. What is the best time to apply?
6. What are the Dos and Don’ts while applying for Japan Study Visa?

Answers are very important to understand before applying for Japan Study Visa:

Usually, the visa for student processing for a Japanese language course in Japan takes around 6 months for the whole procedure starting from:

1. Interview with school
2. Documents verification
3. Forms filling
4. Translation of academic documents
5. Purpose of Study writing in both languages
6. Guarantor verification
7. Bank statement verification
8. Translation of bank documents
9. ID Number generation
10. COE issuance
11. Visa application and Tickets confirmation

This procedure starts with sending out applications to Japanese universities and being accepted by them, after the interview, including a number of visa-related documents approval. Also required is regular coordination with the processing school and the Japanese embassy in your country.

Also, See How to apply for Japan Study Visa

There are many other points which the student applicant must be careful about, like:

• Spelling and Dates in forms filled should not mismatch with your original document
• Your purpose of the study should match your future vision and with past experience or education
• Your interview answers should match your form information
• Your ability of Japanese language till basic study of at least 150 hrs
• While applying for the Japan visa you should be prepared with basic Japanese cultural information
• Well preparation of the reasons, like why is not your education ample enough to be able to study in Japan, or why not the amount in your guarantor bank is not enough that shows he is capable enough to sponsor you for the whole tenure, or what about the recommendation letter, that Japanese embassy is particular about.

Also, See Japanese language Study for Visa

There are mostly two intakes by the Japanese education system:

• For most Japanese schools in Japan, intake is in April and October only
• Some schools often have starting dates in January and July as well, but they don’t offer the cheap courses
• One more important point to keep in mind is how you can justify your date of admission to the immigration office
• That means it should match with your current education and your future goal

For long term courses on a student visa:

1. You need to apply approximately 6 months in advance to most language schools due to the lengthy visa application procedure.
2. If you want to study in Senmon-Gakko or Technical course in Japan you will usually need to take a Japanese language exam to show that you can fulfill their requirements.
3. The fee is higher as compared to language study in Japan through a Senmon-Gakko and it usually demands N2 with particular experience in the field you are going to apply for
4. It is therefore recommended better to apply for 1-year programs like Japanese language study in Japan before proceeding to a long-term particular field college in Japan.

Why is it advised to go to Japan on a student visa first and not a work visa directly?

There are a few reasons we can guide you to take the study visa path first.

1 It is safe: It is more likely that you get a Japanese student Visa compared to Japan work visa. Reason why?

• The company may or may not directly hire you in Japan if you don’t have experience of Living in Japan
• Japanese immigration is very strict for those companies as well who are hiring resources from foreign countries on a sole ability basis.
• You may take time justifying your abilities to Visa authorities and to Japanese companies which lead you to demotivation of leaving the process. You need at least JLPT N2

2. It is cost-effective: It may seem that we will earn in Japan and how can it be cost-effective when we choose to study in Japan first and then choose to work in Japan? However, the secret is, in your initial stages you can always start with a Part-time Job in Japan and earn your living while learning the Japanese language without getting money from your Home-country. While in case of finding a full-time job in Japan you have to first invest in your first month and that can be more expensive than you have planned.

3. It is Easy:  JLPT N5 cleared can apply for Japan Study Visa. You don’t need to gather any extra type of skills or experience in the Japanese language field. Always you can take up a Part-time Job in Japan or full-time Job in Japan once you have spent few time in Japan.

4. It’s feasible: Once you have the complete knowledge of living and spending money in Japan, Now you can adjust to the ever-changing environment in Japan and the information you provide to your Japanese hirer will quickly ensure that you are well versed in the Japanese language as well as the culture of Japan with Japanese business mannerisms

Dos and Don’ts in case of applying for Japan Study Visa:

1. Don’t ever boast about your guarantor’s income. Immigration is very strict in case of proof of income.
2. Don’t try to cover up information in a hurry that you don’t know. Always keep a record of your whole present  and history because every single information you provide must have a document.
3. Don’t think that if you have a visa of any other country, they will give you a visa for Japan too.
4. Your purpose of study be it in written form or in a verbal interview, should have all the valid reasons
5. Do make a checklist of all the documents in case of sending the set of photocopies to Japan
6. Your photographs should not be older than 1 month
7. No cutting or conceal inking on the forms filled.

• Hi-fi Japanese (Since you are going to Japan)
• Basic knowledge of operating mouse and keyboard
• Motivation and zeal to become a programmer as well as a Japanese learner
• Always look up to the target of earning Millions by learning both the skills (Many have done it already)

Now let’s take a look at 5 the steps

Step 1:- Target setting:

To earn $1000 a month first by programming (in your Home-country). 

It is really possible to earn $1000 a month solely by programming.

• You can make websites software solutions for people. We are not talking about big companies but these days many individuals have the same demand of building their websites or enhancing them for sales of their product.
• Or even there is a huge market for Digital promotion or content writing in which you can use the programming skills that you can learn in just a few months and start earning $1000 or even $5000 a month.
• Programming is a tool that makes life easier and the fundamental idea is to reduce the difficulty of life.
• If all the contents given here are followed honestly, earning $1000 or even $5000 a month is not at all difficult by programming.

Few reasons why [Earning $1000 a month] is easy with programming in Japan

www.freelancer.com

For example, in the case of the above projects, the usual payment is about $100 to $200 to create a Single-page website. An expert can make it in about 3 hours. An absolute beginner like you (after learning coding for 3 months) can make it in one or two days.

www.scrimba.com

The above site gives about $500 to $1000 for 5-page website production. In addition, if the customer is satisfied, it leads to continuous demand for further modifications and updates that can lead to your continuous income. A normal software developer may take a week to build and an Absolute beginner can do it in two to three weeks.

There are a wide variety of projects in the world, and if you accumulate experience as a programmer, your income is very much likely to increase to $500 a month within one or two months of implementation. Also, programming is an ever-growing industry, and since the Coronavirus pandemic, the demand for programmers (be it work from home or work from the office), has increased manifolds in Japan.

So it has become more advisable to learn and start earning from a skill that has an ever-growing demand in Japan.

This is all about your Goal setting. However, you can customize this timeline as per your need and your time availability according to employability in Japan.

Other Essential Employability Skills for Japan:

Be organized.
Arrive to work on time, or early.
Be responsible and answerable to your work.
Have a positive attitude towards work.
Complete tasks on time and accurately.
Seek out information from your Japanese counterparts to improve your skills.
Be a listener. Soon you will realize, the Japanese work style is highly detail-oriented.

Now let’s see the second point.

Step 2:- Basic preparation:

Get a personal computer

A common question asked from beginners is: What kind of computer should I get?

Conclusion: If you’re comfortable investing, buy a 13-inch Macbook Pro

Reread: It is completely OK if you have a simple Windows PC. The only requirement is that it should be in good condition for 2 to 3 years if you want to be an engineer, and you want to achieve a $1,000 a month income.

Why the 13-inch Macbook Pro is recommended?

For programming, Mac is a standard, and the reason why “Pro 13 inch” is recommended is as follows.

1. On the Mac, there are plenty of programming apps (most engineers in the world love the Mac).
2. Intuitive operation increases productivity (once you use a Mac, you can’t go back to Windows anymore)3.
3. The 13-inch Macbook Pro has high enough specs and a good screen size (it’s also convenient to carry).
4. Needless to say, Japan has a great Love for Apple devices and there is a common norm in Japanese society to have Apple products. It has built their ecosystem.

There is no problem programming on Windows. However, many engineers around the world use Macs. So, when you search for something you don’t understand, the information for Mac users is often popular on search engines.

Step 3:- Basic understanding:

What is programming in the first place?

If we explain the work of programming, it is like “the work of giving instructions to a personal computer”.

Your PC according to the instructions given by you. So isn’t it great to have the job of ordering a computer? And that too sitting in Japan? Earning in Millions?

Most Important Questions:

1. Do you have a recommendation about language?

This question has been asked about 100 times, and the answer is, “It is best to start with web-based languages.”

2. Now what is a web-based language?

It is HTML / CSS / JavaScript / Python or PHP.

3. Why web-based languages ​​are recommended?

Because they are easy to learn and easy to start earning with.

As here our goal of programming learning is “To earn by programming” and then find a job in Japan. So, in order to do it more quickly, it’s better to choose “Web system”.The web industry has an enormous future. For this reason, please see The future of the Web industry with reasons

By the way, if you look at the explanations so far,

you may think that HTML / CSS / JavaScript / Python or PHP

…This is too much…
…Learning HTML/CSS/Javascript… Along with learning the Japanese language?
…It’s absolutely impossible…” (It’s Fine to think like this)

But Listen…

If you learn HTML, then CSS will become easy to understand if you learn CSS, then JavaScript will become easy to understand if you learn JavaScript, then PHP will become easy to understand and so on…

Step 4:- Learning the procedure:

Let’s quickly jump over HOW you can start learning programming/coding

If you want to learn HTML and CSS → Learn the basics of HTML & CSS as per articles, reference books, and videos. If you think you have a good understanding of it, consider making your own small website.

If you want to learn JavaScript → Learn the basics of JavaScript according to articles, reference books, and videos. If you think you have a good understanding of it, try making something that works.

If you want to learn PHP → Learn the basics of PHP as per articles, reference books, and videos. If you feel that you understand it to some extent, try to make something that works in the front-end as well as the backend (Like storing the data input by users of your website). 

That’s it. You are now a programmer. (Earning $1000/month)

Now you are ready for pitching yourself to JAPAN.

Your dream of living in Japan can be fulfilled by becoming an English teacher first and then shifting yourself on some deeper for meaningful jobs in Japan depending on your nationality, level of Japanese speaking, experience in the field you want to excel in.

Living in Japan

When I went to Japan on a Japanese Despite receiving a scholarship, I have no immediate plans to teach English. I became so engrossed in Japanese language study and visiting numerous venues in Osaka for Japanese culture research that I lost track of time.

Monbu-kagakusho scholarship (MEXT)

While I was studying, I did some part-time jobs to dig deeper into Japanese culture. There, I met a lot of people from all across the country who were also interested in teaching English to Japanese people.scholarship, I do not plan to become an English teacher at first. Since I had taught English to Japanese people in India as well, I chose English teaching as an experiment since it has money and more experience of getting deeper into Japanese psychology.

As a student, the goal was to expand into the Japanese consumer market in order to create nihongomax.com. In Osaka, the average hourly wage is 1000-1100 yen. However, English teaching in Japan can even pay you to double that around i.e. 2000-2500 yen/hour.

So, if you want to be a teacher in Japan, keep the following considerations in mind:

1. Experience

Better if more than a year of English teaching experience in Japan or in your home country. Now, the payment may vary from company to company in Japan and it depends on your experience and how well versed you are in English. I have given you the average idea.

2. Native level 

Because some organisations only hire native English speakers and others rely on your TOEFL/TOEIC certification, you must be able to communicate in English. Some companies hire persons who speak English as a second language (For example, India). If you are not a native English speaker, it’s good to have TOEFL/TOEIC certification.

3. Compensation

It will vary with your level of English. Because they were native speakers and I was not, some of my coworkers were paid more than I was. However, their Japanese attitude is not skewed by nationality or other factors. They solely judge and set your salary and other compensation based on your ability.

4. Teaching certifications

It’s good to have TOEFL/TOEIC certifications. It is preferable to obtain them prior to arriving in Japan. A lot of certification courses are also available online at a low price. The reason for this is that being certified opens the door to an interview swiftly, allowing you to demonstrate your talents and abilities while also allowing you to relax. the work of grabbing the job is on you. Second, certification preparation provides you with a wealth of experience, details, and skill enhancement, all of which will reflect and assist you in your interview.

5. Japanese language level

This is nice to have but not required, according to the hiring companies. But if you ask me, it is as important as any of the above things. I’ve encountered a lot of teachers who haven’t even had a dialogue about Japanese ability and are still struggling. If you want to survive at a Japanese public school, you must know Japanese. Your ability to communicate in Japanese will determine whether you teach elementary, middle, or high school. You will be put in primary school if your Japanese is good. This is due to the fact that most elementary school teachers are illiterate in English. If you can speak a little Japanese, you will go to middle school and if you can’t speak Japanese at all you will go to high school.

6. Visa

If you are already in Japan, the visa process is easy. The company will act as your guarantor and handle all of the paperwork. All you have to do now is go to the Immigration office and get your new residency card. I was already on a Student visa so I didn’t have to do much either.

7. As a Tourist in Japan

If you are not in Japan, you will have to come on a tourist visa and then complete the work visa process. For a period of 90 days, you can only visit Japan as a tourist. If you are not currently in Japan but wish to apply for such positions, you should first learn about the visa process.

8. Your Location

Once you are in Japan, I suggest you apply for jobs that are available in your current location in Japan. Moving to Japan is not easy. It was expensive. If you apply to the city that you are already living in, chances are that they will give you the schools that are close to you. Companies save money on transportation expenditures (since they pay for your transportation) and you save time by doing so.

9. Interview process

The interview process itself is not very difficult. You will first be required to send the essential documents, such as mark sheets, certificates, and residency cards. They will schedule an interview after this is completed. Now, this is different for different companies. I was employed after only a 10-minute phone call. Many other foreigners go through 2-3 rounds.

Also, see

Interview in Japan

10. If you are selected

They will give you the offer letter and which will all the necessary information like joining date, compensation, holidays, etc. If you are not chosen, you will receive an email expressing your disappointment. This is one of my favourite things about Japan: they are always professional, no matter what.

11. Training

The training lasts anything from 2 to 5 days. On the first day, you will meet one or two teachers from the schools to which you have been assigned. During your contract period, you will have a lot of interactions with these teachers. Japanese people are very friendly and it is for your own benefit. It’s a good idea to inquire about the school, the pupils, and a little about them.

12. Some common rules

That you might have to follow are:

1. Interact with the students but be polite to them.
2. Don’t use your phone too much on the school campus.
3. Don’t go out of the school campus in break time.
4. No smoking on the school campus.
5. Always be on time and in case of absent or late, be prepared with reason and proof. It’s preferable if you can communicate adequately ahead of time.
6. Get to know your coworkers because it’ll be a terrific way to learn on the job..

13. Salary

Salary in Japan for English teachers start from 25万円 (2,50,000 yen) per month and it goes up to 40万円(4,00,000 yen) per month.It costs between 2,00,000 and 3,00,000 INR every month. And, as stated in Saving Money in Japan, it is a good number because you can save a total of 1,00,000 INR per month. So if you have read that article and understood the right places to shop, live, you can save good money to send to your Home country.

Also, see

Saving Money in Japan

14. What to expect from English teaching jobs

As many of you already know, Japanese schools are quite structured. You will be provided with your schedule. There will be an English teacher working with you and you will be required to make lesson plans, games, and activities with this teacher.

Also, see

Expenses in Japan

Just be punctual, To succeed in teaching English, you must be polite and well-versed in the Japanese language. After that (usually in 6 months), you can aspire to achieve your ideal job in Japan. When it comes to work, the Japanese are very courteous and nice, but when it comes to time, talks, facts, and reasons, they immediately reject a person who is not disciplined about time, talks, facts, and reasons. They make up their minds quickly, so I recommend that you take these matters more seriously than we Indians do..

Definitely, IT has a rising scope not only in Japan but all over the world.

The requirements for good programmers are rising significantly over the past few years globally. Since there is so much innovation and competition taking place in the IT field, be it software programming, development, Networking field or even hardware, the likeliness of growth in IT jobs can always be well presumed.

The important point to remember here is that it doesn’t mean that there is no scope for fields other than IT in Japan in regards to Jobs.

Japan is the world’s third-largest economy and there is always a requirement for skilled resources in almost every sector like manufacturing, medical science, automobile engineering, robotics, Computer science, agriculture, space technology, etc.

As a foreigner, it is necessary to have a good knowledge of the Japanese language and also exposure and good hands over technology. This will give one an edge over others while getting hired in a Japanese company in Japan. Even if we talk about the salary structure, having hands-on experience entitles one to extra benefits along with higher chances of getting accepted by the company.

This is to be known and remembered that technology plays an overwhelming role in business as well as in the daily life of Japanese society.

The post Scope of IT in Japan first appeared on Nihogomax Blog.

Before globalization, there was no distinguishing factor based on nationality for foreigners in Japan. Every nationality was taken into consideration about an individual’s knowledge of the Japanese language and the skill set necessary for a job in Japan.

However, recently the Japanese corporates have started preferring Japanese candidates for Jobs over other nationalities. For example, in some cases, the English teaching companies prefer native English teachers for their job offering, irrespective of the fact that an Indian/Asian candidate possesses all the necessary qualifications and skills.

One encouraging thing is that it is already very difficult for Japanese companies to find a suitable candidate for their job requirement, who can be up against their strict regime and specifications. So this ensures that there is no discrimination in terms of nationality. So one need not worry over nationality, the main ingredients required to get a job and be successful in Japan are knowledge of the Japanese language and respect for the culture and behavior of Japanese society.

Since the relations between the countries of India and Japan have grown very closer in the last few decades, the trade and business opportunities have also grown a lot of times, as compared to the earlier decades. Consequently, there are many companies and jobs available that specifically deal with the Indian market and hence they require Indian people, who are well versed in the Japanese language.

This ensures that there is no language or cultural barrier while dealing with people of India or another country. There are several companies in Osaka, Chiba, Saitama, Tokyo, Nagoya, and other areas which are dealing in traveling, customer relations, ticketing, advertising, market research, IT, and other fields too that hire Indians and resources from India seriously.

Indians in Japan speak several different languages. Also, there is little relationship between religion or language and profession among Indians. On the whole, Tokyo and Osaka, also Kobe has many Indian living areas.
There are Indian temples in both Kobe and Tokyo and many Indians are in small and medium enterprises. They have adapted to Japanese society, food and culture. Many are successfully working in skilled professions.

The post Indians in Japan first appeared on Nihogomax Blog.

If you are an Indian there is good news for you!!!.

There are lot many Indians now in Japan making their livelihood, be it Osaka, Tokyo, Nagoya, Saitama, Chiba, Toyama, Kobe, Fukuoka, Akita, Hiroshima, Kawasaki, or even in remote areas.

Before the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020, the number of Indians shifting to Japan surged so high that the immigrants had to update their system and many regulations that govern the number permitted for Visa.

There is thus no scarcity of Indian community or Indian students or Indian food. There are many very well-established Indian families living in Japan for a very long. Their next generations are getting complete nationality with equal rights of education etc.

There are a large number of Indian restaurants and the main source of income of many Indians, comes from food. Indian food is also quite popular and considered delicious in Japan and the number of Japanese people who really like eating Indian food is not an insignificant number in Japan.

They serve all kinds and varieties of food and exist almost everywhere in Japan if searched on the internet. Also, they vend Indian spices and pickles too. This means that any person can help himself by cooking on his own and still not miss the Indian taste.

Japanese food tastes and looks completely different from Indian cuisine. Though Japanese food is also very tasty and healthy, it is just the opposite in comparison to Indian food in some aspects.

However if one thinks to have food in an Indian restaurant on a daily basis, three square meals a day, this might not be possible if cost and health perspective is considered. Since in Japan the main ingredients of Indian food is imported or purchased from other sources, it eventually becomes very costly to prepare with all good quality standards and that’s why the cost is inevitably high.

The cost of such food is so high that ironically it becomes luxury food for a normal salaried person. Eating out at an Indian restaurant is thus not likely to be your daily food source.

With a tourist visa, you cannot work in Japan but working in Japan as a student is entirely a different ballgame. Since the visa type is different, you are allowed to get work permission after landing at an Airport in Japan and you are allowed to work part-time in Japan.

You can work 28 hours in 1 week on school weeks and 40 hours 1 week during semester breaks. Students are generally not allowed to take any job related to nightclubs or adult entertainment.

Common Jobs in Japan that students are allowed to get are Bartender, Dishwasher, Data entry worker, Waiter, Store helper or convenience store worker, Cashier, Food packaging, Delivery boy, etc.

Most students work in shops or restaurants where they can easily earn around 1,000 Yen per hour. However, sometimes it can be hard to find a job if you don’t speak at least basic Japanese. The best-paid jobs for students are often to work as an English teacher. You can teach either at a school or with an English teaching company or you can just give private conversation lessons in a café. Doing so easily allows you to earn up to 3,000 Yen per hour or even more.

The work permit is a sticker on your passport. To obtain a student visa you must be in Japan. The easiest way to get the permit is to get it immediately and directly at the airport when you first arrive in Japan.

You can also visit the Immigration office later but since it will take time the school can guide you about how to get a work permit immediately at Airport itself.

There are many informative videos on this topic on our YouTube Channel “Nihongomax”.
