Hello, I’m graduating in 2026 as a Visual Arts Designer. I am seeking a 2-3 months internship in Japan for Summers. I’m located in Istanbul, but would need a Visa sponsor, if I manage to secure an internship.
After going through endless reddit posts, I realized how internship might not really be a thing in Japan and companies won’t bother to sponsor you unless you are exceptional/speak Japanese. I cannot speak any Japanese.
I freelance as a Ui/Ux and pixel animator… and clients have described my portfolio as 'innovative,' 'versatile,' and 'a true reflection of high-caliber design work’
Should I let myself be disappointed or continue looking? I can finance myself throughout the internship period.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
