Is This Possible To Get A Long Term Work Visa In Japan

Pregnant and working holiday visa Japan.?

Of course there is a way for you to stay in Japan, and that is for you to get married to the father of your baby. That should come to mind to most everyone, including yourself and the father.

However, you didn't mention that as something you considered or possible. Perhaps the father of your baby is already a married man and marriage isn't possible? Even if he's single but isn't economically independent and can't be the head of the household, that's really your only realistic chance for staying in Japan.

It's no possible for a baby to be your visa sponsor, so that's not an option.

You could always throw yourself at the mercy of the Minister of Justice and plead for a special permission to stay, but the plea of a woman with an extramarital child with a Japanese man is actually a common case, and it often gets denied. Your chances may be slim.

Also importantly, you didn't mention how you can financially afford medical costs related to childbirth. The average cost related to pregnancy and childbirth is nearly 500,000 yen. Japanese nationals and their spouses can get 300,000 yen of that covered by national healthcare. Did you enroll in Japanese national healthcare when you started your working holiday in Japan? If you did, you're covered, and you could risk a visa overstay (not really recommended) for the healthcare coverage. Otherwise, that's all going to come out of pocket, and an unmarried father's healthcare isn't going to cover you.

I think you know what you need to do if you really want to stay in Japan. Otherwise, you do have to go back to Ireland while you can still safely do so.

Is it possible to get a job in Japan if you haven't completed your high school?

Yes. The CEO of my former company in Japan didn’t complete high school, but moved to Japan and built a successful business.Companies are going to care less about high school (they won’t check) and more about your university degree. Or if you have some sort of community college diploma, that would be useful.There is a big emphasis in Japan on certificates and diplomas. For example, the JLPTN1 Japanese test can be a golden ticket to getting noticed for an interview, getting into many jobs as well as speeding up permanent residency. The usefulness of these tests is highly questionable. Case in point, just because you have JLPT doesn’t mean you speak Japanese, it’s purely a multiple choice and listening test.The Japanese government as well as Japanese companies are seldom familiar with a lot of overseas diplomas/degrees/programs so you could easily do a 6 month or 1 year online program, which would likely make a huge difference in getting both a visa and a job.There are a lot of jobs in Japan right now so depending on what you are willing to do, and your level of Japanese, it’s possible to consider working in the service sector or even sales. If you are applying for jobs at recruitment firms, many won’t care about your highschool or university degree if you can demonstrate your sales ability and a transferable skill set.

Can you work in Japan (long term) without a college degree?

Assuming you have skills that are valuable to an employer, without a degree, your main hurdle will be obtaining a visa.To get a working visa in Japan, you normally need a university degree related to the industry your seeking a job, or ten years working experience.Besides that, there’s a couple of other options:A Working Holiday visa. If you’re in one of the participating countries, and meet the other requirements (such as age, typically you need to be under 30), you can get a visa that allows you to work for typically up to a year, once in your life time.A spouse visa. If you’re married to a Japanese, you can easily get this visa, which will allow you to work.A student or dependent visa. With these visas, you can work part time.A intra-company transferee visa. You just need to be working for at least a year for a given company.An investor visa. You can get this visa if you create your own company. Typically, you’ll need to invest at least 5 million JPY in the company, and go through a number of other checks.So it certainly is possible to work in Japan without a degree.

Is it possible to get kicked out of Japan (read description)?

So I'm really obsessed with Japan and once I am able to I wanna move there but something has been bothering me since I read it. Is it actually possible to get kicked out of Japan? I mean without breaking laws and stuff like that can they kick you out for not doing enough? And to what extent will they usually kick you out if so? I read somewhere that it's possible but I've only ever seen it there and when I search it up nothing really comes up without an actual reason.

How long can you stay in Japan?

Okay, to answer your questions...

Without a visitor visa?
You can't even be in Japan without some kind of visa. So no time without a visitor visa.

With one?
You can stay 3 months.

How to stay 'forever' (like 10 years for example)?
You will either need to a work visa (I am on one now) and as long as you have a job you can keep renewing your visa indefinitely. I am going on my 7th year. My first year was a one year visa, my second time renewing I applied for a three year. And then I applied for another three year. Another way to stay is to marry a Japanese national (which I have done and will switch over my visa next year). You have to keep renewing your spousal visa, but that is another way to stay as long as you want.

What are the consequences for not leaving when your due?
Immigration (if they find you) will stamp your passport as an overstayer and then you won't be able to re-enter Japan again for so many years once you are deported.

How long can I live in Japan?

Without a visa, you can stay up to 90 days , or up to 180 days in a 12 month period.
To stay longer you need a work or student visa. A student visa requires being accepted into a Japanese college, and a great deal of money. A work visa requires a four year degree and a job offer before you get there. That requires having a job skill a Japanese doesn't have.
Most Americans teach English. Average pay is 250,000 yen a month. Enough to live on for one person.
Bad news is most people get burned out just after a year or two and quit. Not easy living in a country where most people don't speak English. People get homesick & miss family / friends.
Finding work outside of teaching isn't easy .Most probably fall into the IT / computer related fields.
You can become permanent resident after having lived there at least 5 years without ever leaving the country. Not real reason for citizenship, although it is possible. Not an easy task , though.
Gay marriage is not legal in Japan. If you were married in another country where it was legal, said marriage would not be recognized by the Japanese government . There's no way to sponsor your same sex spouse
Most landlords won't rent to a same sex couple.
