Sorry for the bad title.
Little backstory about myself.
I like to say im a half Japanese half American 34m but I'm half Korean blooded (father side). My father is a first generation born and raised in southern Japan but had Korean citizenship (principle of jus sanguinis).
I don't think I can apply for the long term resident visa even though I do have Family that are citizens, nor the skilled work visa as a chef because I grew up and worked in a 3 different sushi restaurants over 16 years. i do know basic japanese from JLPT N5 classes and self-study.
My cousin will be my COE/guarantor but what visa would be applicable for my situation or should I study more and take the JLPT N4 test?
