For context, back three years ago I studied abroad at a japanese university for 6 months with my home university exchange program. Being a major dumb kid, I fucked around and skipped most classes and just explored japan. I did not work in Japan, I mostly just traveled.
I never got my student visa revoked (to my knowledge) and I left on time the country (with all payments to insurance/everything else done correctly).
Fast forward to today, I am interviewing with japanese companies to attempt to move to japan permanently (4 yoe, have my bachelors, have my N2). However, my exchange somewhat haunts me as I've also read that language schools report attendance to immigration and that attending is super important. Does this hold true for Universities as well?
When/if a company offers me a job, would they ask for my grades from the exchange university? Does it matter at all (Obviously all fail, considering I didn't attend properly) for the work visa? Anyone has any insight ?
Yes, it was an extremely stupid decision and I understand nothing is guaranteed, just looking to see if I pretty much permanently ruined my chances to get a work visa in the future (forever?). I couldn't really care less about having no credits for that, but I am worried for my future(if there is any) in Japan.
