I’ve done my research, but have new questions which I can’t seem to find on google.
Basically, my only option for a visa is a work holiday vise, student visa and possibly a work visa: self sponsor.
But these are the questions that I have for my final decision. (Probably going to be student visa, since I want to learn Japanese as well)
These are the my questions to clear some confusion:
-
Do you also need a bachelors degree for a self sponsor visa? I couldn’t find this information in the wiki and not on google.
-
About freelance work, I’ve read through the wiki that it needs to be freelance work in Japan and that it’s only possible to be accepted this visa if you’re in Japan. What confuses me is that a YouTuber did get accepted from his self sponsor visa, which is different from a freelance visa, but with his self sponsor visa, it wasn’t a Japanese company, it was his own work.
But he did before get a working holiday visa, so might that be the reason that it worked out for him?
For a self sponsor visa, does it also count that it needs to be from a company in Japan?
I can’t find clear information and answer to this question on google.
In the end, I do still think that I want to go for the student visa, because I do wanna learn the language, but I’ll have to find a way to make money and find a job there as someone who comes from a European country, which makes it impossible for me to get a job as a English teacher, since they ask for native English speakers.
