Japan study + work opportunities for Indian finance student?

Hi everyone,

I am an Indian finance student currently pursuing BBA
and preparing for CFA Level 1 (2026).
I also have practical exposure in stock market, mutual funds,
insurance (LIC certified agent), and self-employed business experience.

I want to move to Japan for better career exposure.

I would like guidance on:
1. Is Japan a good option for finance-related careers for Indians?
2. Study visa vs work visa – which is more realistic initially?
3. Does learning Japanese (JLPT) significantly improve chances?
4. Any recommended universities, language schools, or entry-level roles?

I am open to starting with study + part-time work.

Any genuine advice or experience would be appreciated.
Thank you.
