For starters I am a dual citizen but I plan to revoke my non Japanese citizenship once I move (and have enough funds for it). I’ve visited Japan 2+ times so I’m already familiar with the environment to an extent.
I currently have around $8200 in savings and while I’m aware it’s quite risky I still want to make the move some time this year. It’s been a lifelong dream of mine to move and live there long term so I’m willing to make any sacrifice necessary. I’ve been looking into airbnbs/share houses and am thinking of settling in Chiba as it’s closer to Tokyo and is much cheaper to reside in.
Japanese is not my native language as my parents didn’t teach me so I took it upon myself to self study, and although I have not taken an official jlpt exam, I did pass a mock exam for n2. While I can comprehend a good chunk of the language I’m still not 100% fluent and am more at a conversational level when it comes to speaking.
I hold a bachelors degree in accounting and unless I can work for an american satellite/international company I’m aware that my chances of landing a finance related job in Japan are low due to my current language level. I’m thinking of aiming for another office or assistant-related job and am even willing to settle for one as an english teacher if that is my only viable option.
While my 職務経歴書is complete, I still need to take a photo for my 履歴書 and am also medicated for a neurological health condition which I will need papers for.
What is the best course of action I can take?
