Hey everyone, I’m a 22-year-old certified automotive technician in the U.S. with four years of experience in the field. It is a goal of mine to move to Japan—I have done extensive research on how to obtain an SSW visa. Despite how easy MOFAJP makes it seem for someone in the field, others in the sub say it is unlikely. However, I’d like to know if anything has changed over the years.
I am also currently in the process of reaching the N5 language skill level. I still have some grants for college because I decided to wait. I have the dedication to do overnight schooling for engineering or English—both of which interest me. Is any of this possible? I also have non-offensive visible tattoos on one arm. Will this affect my chances of getting a job there? Will it impact my chances of obtaining a visa?
