Apologies if this is a repeat question, I'm 37 working in the mobile game industry in Europe. I'm on a temporary residence permit here, I have a masters in video game production and design, specifically an Arts Master. I have always wanted to live and work in Japan, but life happened differently once I started work. I'm considering asking my EU studio if they can hire me through EOR or GEO from Japan, but I don't know if they can sponsor my entry and work visa since I'm not living in Japan. I have a N5 in JLPT and currently self-studying to attempt N4-N3 in this year and maybe the next. I kept making excuses about how I can visit japan once a year and it'll be fine, but my recent trip really knocked me out. I can't get it out of my head, unless I plan another trip, I've realized I'd rather be unhappy in Japan than being comfortable in the EU. Am I being reasonable thinking the EOR can work? Is applying to Jp studios the only option I have, hoping they hire me on a work visa(post N3-N1 eligibility)? Or is this a pipe dream? I made more friends from my trips in Japan than I ever did living in EU for the past 4 years. I also love/speak more of japanese than my current EU local language. Are there any other visa options? I would appreciate some help on this. Thanks!
