CZcamsrs make it look so easy to move to Japan 😵💫
when you have a lot of money everything is easy lol
Yeah, I'm wondering what makes Pewdiepie allowed to live in Japan. The money he makes from CZcams counts as working or something??
Or hes so rich that they don't care that he doesn't have a job in Japan?
@@yosachaiko9969he has made a few videos explaining how much of a struggle it was for him to be allowed to live in Japan. From what I remembered he set up his clothing company in Japan and was able to move based on that
It's on purpose because that's a power trip to inflate the fragile ego that these cushy life people from rich daddies have living inside their little reality bubble. It's the act of going to the public and saying "Look, I accomplished this and it wasn't even that hard, or at least as hard as it is for YOU! I was able to do this and it was so much easier than it is for you! hah hah! I'm so much better than you!" You can tell her on her face. They always have the same expression, that delusional self-importance.
In the end you can see that a lot of these "influencers" are petty people indulging themselves in meaningless power trips just to feel like they're better than others, to try (and fail) to fill their voids.
I have to say that this is the most detailed and informative video I have ever watched while preparing to move to Japan! Thank you for going step by step and explaining things as well as providing resources. I have like a huge wait has been taken off because you’ve written everything out so clear!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!🙏🏽👍🏽🥳
I am sooo glad you found the video useful! Your support means the world, thank you for your sweet comment :) Will be sharing more tips and tricks about moving to Japan, Japan life & travel and more!
Have you moved already? If so, do you like it, and what area did you move to?
@@maowav I haven’t moved yet. I am planning to this year. As long as it’s not too far north, I am open to living almost anywhere.
I love and appreciate you so much for this video so helpful ❤
Thank you so much for this information
Thanks for your update
I want to move to japan because everyone there seems so nice and everything just seems so efficient. I plan to come for education and stay for business.
I love the culture, and Japanese Tea Gardens.
That was super helpful. Thanks!
So glad you found it helpful! 😍
Very informative information thank you
This is extremely informative and helpful!! Im rly thankful 🙏🏻🙆🏻♀️
So glad you think so! Thank you for your support :)
Can you give an update on yourself
Good stuff. 👍
I will be studying Game Art, basically 3D modelling and learning to use game engines for 1 year. After that I look forward to moving to Japan 😊
Thank you for making this video!
One of my main reasons to move to Japan is safety, and the beautiful landscapes that are there.
Plus, I want to be immersed in a different culture.
I going to some how get there for high school and I'm learning Japanese so I can.
i want to open a bakery someday so i plan on going to a college there thag has dorming and have a few bakery part time jobs to save up, i then once college is finished plan on continuing part time work while renting an apartment and then once i’ve saved enough i plan on finally opening a bakery :)
what if i just want to move there no reason like employment or education, i just wanna live there because it’s a nice country
You can only come on a tourist visa. If you want to stay longer you will need to have a student visa or a business visa
Japan is a small island. As such, a common belief is you need to help feed the island, be a cog in the machine if you're going to take up land, especially as a foreigner. Moving there just to move there and rot isn't what they want, unfortunately
@@CaiyaSanchez so moving there I would need a job there?
@@bunz08japan is one of the most hardworking country? why would u just wanna move there to do nothing? walk all over the hard working people who live there to make it such a beautiful place. stay in ur country.
@@shadowsniper708 tf is your issue I simply asked a question if that was one of the things needed to stay there. obviously I'd get a job
Omg I really want to move out
Thx for video. Is it possible to live in Japan but work in other country? (Working on ships month/month).
What I noticed in my own research is that many of these programs mentioned are geared toward younger people. I think the age cap is 25-29.
Do you know of any programs or internships that do not have such age restrictions? I am between a rock and a hard place. In about 4 years I will be eligible to take early retirement from my employer. I'm currently 43. I think I might already have some limitations for job prospects in Japan at this age. By waiting until I am 47, I can only foresee more limitations. And if I were to wait for full retirement at 52, I don't think I would be able to find a job at all. Any advice or suggestions for program suited for middle-aged people and older would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to know this as well, as I just turned 37.
Do you have a degree? What kind of work are you looking to do?
@@CaiyaSanchez can you help get a job in Japan 🇯🇵
@@CaiyaSanchez hi
Question if you get a 5 year visa for work do you gotta renew it after 5 years OR every 3 months like a “normal” working visa?
Do you still offer advice on moving to Japan? Also, out of curiosity, is it ok for me to ask where you are from?
Would love if you could add captions to the video
I’m a graphic designer and illustrator and I’m currently studying the language. Im probably an N4 at the intermediate level. Im hoping to get a job in Japan in my field as an art director or similar in a few years. Are there opportunities for people in these fields with less than an N2?
Hey there! Sorry for reading your comment late, that's so exciting! Sounds like you're doing some exciting things. Depending on the company and job description, there are definitely roles that don't require N2 and above Japanese. Happy to help you out with your move :) Do you want to message us on Instagram so we can chat easily? You can find us here: instagram.com/flipjapanguide/

As someone who’s about to start studying graphic design in college & starting to learn Japanese (I just finished hiragana) I’m rooting for ya! If it’s ok I followed on ig as I’m intrigued by your journey & want to follow it. I’m curious as to what it’s like for G-designers there like pay, living etc and even just learning from designers such as yourself in general
I'm currently studying Japanese and enrolling in a trade school to learn Information Technology. I'm hoping to apply for a working visa after around 2 years once graduate and have a good basic understanding of Japanese. Is this a good plan and would I be able to find a job in IT in Japan?
Hi! Do you know how to do all this but relaten with working as a Doctor? I’ve been looking for these information, but it’s kinda difficult…
I'm surprised you didn't mention setting up a bank account :O
I just got back from Japan and I'm so inlove lol.. I wanna do a business importing product from Japan to Canada. Do I need to apply for special visa?

Hello. Love your channel. I do have a question please. I've dreamed of living in Japan for decades, but I will not be able to go until I retire, maybe at age 65-70. I see lots of youtube channels and websites about young people going to Japan to live, but not a single older person that I could find. What would be your advice for an older/elderly foreigner moving to Japan? Thanks, AG
Hi can I talk to you regarding Visa plz tell me
Found a house for sell for $42,000 USD, I just looking not going to move until 2030. Need to save up money first.
And another doubt: if we want to buy an apartment??
So I'm in a relationship with a girl from Japan going to university down here in America. We are aware of long distance relationships, but what if I want to move to Japan to be with her until we figure things out after she moves back, graduates, & gets her degree? I plan on opening a small business here where I live, and I did plan on considering building a small business in Japan as well. Would that make things easier? I have found zero information on this. I'm just trying to figure out how we can make things work together in person.
What would you do if you want to stay there longer. Like 10 years or so?
Marry a Japanese person or if you have a job they should be able to continuously renew your working visa
how hard do you think it is to get a software/it job in japan with N3/N2 japanese, as a new grad (assuming i have a good portfolio.) also, how early in my final semester should i begin applying for jobs (assuming i graduate in march)
thanks!
It would be hard to say if she doesn’t work in IT but it would depend mostly on the company. Most companies just want people who have a degree and speak English. Japan’s population is aging and decreasing so there is a labor shortage in certain fields
I’d say you’d have a fairly easy time. IT/software are highly desired at the moment.
If you're in Japan then you'll already have an easier time compared to most people that would be applying from abroad. However, if you're applying to entry-level Software/IT jobs in Japan from outside the country, then you'll have an extremely difficult time doing so. You'd have to have around N2-N1 Japanese if that was the case to warrant your application to stand out from the rest - especially because you will be competing with those of perhaps similar Japanese abilities & more Years of Experience.
I hope you've found a job. If you have an IT background and fluency in Japanese, your opportunities will be higher than most. Job-hunting in Japan will be relatively easy, as we have a skill shortages in the IT field (and tourism/healthcare/nurses/education, etc.)
Just note, most international students who graduate from Japanese universities are near-native in Japanese language/culture, and students who major in Japanese Studies in Russia/Europe, Mongolia, South Korea, China, Taiwan, Australia, NZ and UK universities generally reach N2 by the time they graduate. Some if not many of them will also be looking to work in Japan.
Also, there is new visa schemes from FY2023 called J-FIND and J-SKIP. If you're a graduate of top 100 global universities, you'll get a priority work visa. J-SKIP is for skilled professionals who are already further in their career. This visa was specifically introduced to attract young talent and entrepreneurs from all over the world.
FYI, under our current visa system, foreign-nationals with advanced technical skills and Japanese language fluency--i.e foreign talent that Japanese society wishes to attract and retain--are given fast-track to Permanent Visas. I've heard of people from Brazil, France, and Russia getting expedited Permanent Visa in 3 to 4 years.
I have a simple question....
If i studied in japan and got the studing or working visa....will i be able to bring my family with me to live there? I mean to live a sustainable live there
Wait… my dad is not from sweden but he came here on a tourist visa and now he lives here and can come to sweden whenever he wants because he became a citizen, is that so in japan too?
Not really. It is extremely difficult to get a Japanese citizenship. You would have to marry a Japanese person.
how can i live in japan forever? like what reason do i need
Hi, I'm lwhnhl and I am 22 years old, almost 23, and I am looking to go to japan in 2025 but, if i don't reach the amount of savings that I need, I'll probably move in april 2026. I did study a vocational degree in my country and would like to apply to a university degree but I am afraid to start the university at 28 years old and finished at 33 years old to start looking for work applications. What are your thoughts about that? Do you think it's still possible to start at that age? And my last question Where can I found university's in japan that impart social media bachelor's degree or something related to Audiovisual. In my country it's named communicación audiovisual. My ultimate goal is to leave in Japan but we never know
I am currently 15 and I have absolutely no idea how any of this adult stuff works but it has been my dream plan to move to japan when im about 20. I am currently learning Japanese and plan on getting a job and saving money but I dont know if that is enough. I am starting to feel discouraged because I dont know if im putting all of this effort and energy into this goal if I am doing something wrong or if i simply wont be able to move there and live there. I am not good in school and im not going to college so is that something i should be worried about getting in the way? Is there other possible ways to be accepted to live there without education related things? I have a few talents and I do plan on getting a job/career when I move there if its even possible?? Someone please help me out 🤣
Same
Use mext. It's easier
I am also currently your age and also dreaming to travel to Tokyo when I am 24 to work as a software engineer
Me too 😭 I also need friends to move over there with in the future 😗🤞
would it be difficult to find a job in 3D modeler/character artist in Japan?
Yes extremely
So is, "I don't want to live in North America anymore", a VALID reason as to why I want to stay in japan? If it is then can someone please explain to me how that would affect my visa...
you can say that there are lack of opportunities etc. have something reasonable
I have one more year and i will finish IT university and i want to get a job there.Can you recommend me how to find a job.

Question. I’m looking to study interior design in university in Kyoto. Would I be able to have a dorm in the university and how will I manage? I heard students can’t have jobs while studying🧐 please correct me if I’m wrong.
It depends on what visa you have. Some visas allow you to also work as a student. You should look into the different types of visas and see which one is suitable for you. And most universities do have dorms but if not the share-houses/ guest-houses are the best option imo. It’s best to look into housing before arriving in Japan. Good luck! 🍀
You look like Karen Fukuhara, from The Boys
Sooo, you can't live in Japan unless you're a student studying to get degree OR you already have a degree/experience to work a job in Japan. What about people who don't/can't go to school and don't have degrees that want to live there because they love the country and culture and get other work and make a life there regardless?
yeah, it sucks I can't move and live there "just because I want", you need a "purpose" :(
How much money should you have saved before the move? 🤔 Flip Japan
Does an investor visa exist? I have a medium sized buisness in the states and could invest invest in japan if its needed to live there.
I haven’t seen a pure passive investment visa but I found another path which is the Business manager visa along with an income producing property.
@@Optimusbellumdomitor I managed to get a contact in japan that can sponsor me :D
@@currently9143 Great! I need to find one for myself. :) Have you chosen a city?
I'm looking for a partner to invest in something together. I have a few different ideas for it, some a pure income investment to get the Visa, and others more creative needing more time investment but also more rewarding. If anyone is interested let me know.
@@Optimusbellumdomitor What would be the purpose of partnering? Are you in need of capital or expertise?
Subtitles please ))
What about marrying a Japanese womanl will that be easier for me to migrate there.
mz only reasons whz to live in japan
1.anime
2.noodles
3.bullet trains
brruh..
How can I get your personal contact
I am interested in Japan
Thank you
I want to become a Japanese citizen. But they won't have me becasue they are racist, which makes me want it even more !
4 minutes into the video and no numbers yet. the hell am i even watching bro. such a useless video
If you are a native English speaker with bachelor's degree and don't mind working as an English teacher, look for an English-speaking share house or a guest house. There is one in Osaka: Osaka English House. They have English speaking staff who can help you. Or if you're not sure about moving to Japan but still want some experience living in Japan, look up "worldpackers".
“WorldPackers” is giving the movie “Hostel” vibes. I don’t wanna go missing 😅
