My wife and I are both teachers, and we have a one-month-old daughter. I’m 38 and she’s turning 37 in September. She has a master’s degree and a teaching license, and I have a bachelor’s degree (no teaching license, I currently teach at a private school).
We’ve both been feeling disillusioned with American politics and the overall direction of the country. In 2023, we visited Japan and completely fell in love with it. We’ve been seriously considering making a permanent move there.
We’re looking for resources or advice on how to:
• Find work opportunities in Japan (doesn’t have to be teaching either)
• Navigate visas and immigration with the goal of staying long-term or permanently
• Understand what qualifications we’d need to strengthen our chances
If anyone has firsthand experience, useful websites, or knows of organizations that help with this kind of relocation, we’d really appreciate it!
