Emigration to Japan?

Question

I'm going to uni next year to do Nursing for three years then I'll be contracted to work in the hospital for 3-5 years.
After that I want to move to Japan. Do I have to retrain when I get there? Or is it best to take a course in Japanese there and train there?
And how would I go about getting a job over there and moving on my own?
Moving to Japan has always been a huge ambition of mine but I don't really know how I would go about doing it.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

I'm from the UK. I've started learning Japanese. I can say some very basic phrases and I'm slowly learning 2 of the 3 alphabets.

Answer 1

Yes.Learn language. It is very important to work and live.
Your qualification doesn't work in Japan, except some academic records.
You need to get nursing qualification in Japan.
Actually Japan is not immigrant country like the US.
98% of the population is Japanese. homogeneous nation (not multi cultural).
Ppl don't get English very much.
But I know there are many westerners who speak Japanese fluently and work in Japan.

Answer 2

Japan is among the such a lot high-priced international locations to reside in,and one of the most toughest to transport to. A vacationer visa is handiest well for ninety days. To paintings in Japan you wish to have a piece visa. And to get a piece visa you wish to have an excellent activity present BEFORE you progress there. Outside of the army, such a lot Americans train English. You want no less than a BA / BS measure to do that. This requirement is about by means of the Japanese executive. Teaching English would possibly not be a existence time activity. You can not even paintings at a McDonald's until you'll talk, learn, and write Japanese at a local degree. About the one means you would get a role is when you have a ability a Japanese does'nt have. Most Japanese don't talk English. The such a lot handy option to transfer to Japan could be to marry a Japanese individual. And that could'nt be handy both.

Answer 3

you should refer your questions to the Ministry of Justice; immigration website... You may know that Japan has a one year working/vacation visa with all the Crown's commonwealth. You could work any job on that visa, and while working that JOb search for a job using a Professional Visa in health care, as that would require a sponser . YOu might try the Adventist's Hospital as they cater to foreigners in japan, or try to search for other hospitals that cater to Gaijin. Another method is to ask your country's embassy/consulates where they send there personel when needing medical atention.

Another opportunity would be teaching english in a Nursing College/medical college/uni - you would be a great Candidate
and I suppose that would be an easy job

my friend actuallly works at a nursing college, - check out Wilcox, Suzuki - The Okinawa program or "Okinawa centenarian study" http://okinawaprogram.com send him an email ... and ask - he 'd be glad to help if hes not lecturing somewhere

Good luck

Answer 4

Before you go to Japan, you need to learn the Japanese language at least a couple of years. Most Japanese don't speak and understand English at all.

Answer 5

first you did not mention your country any way
Japanese from out side seems very nice people but when you live inside them they are very racer people for example there is people from Korea live for long time in Japan they are completely casted and suffer from humiliation also there is mix origin Japanese people ( African American father and Japanese mother)
they are also casted must of them emigrate to USA so Japan is not hosted country for work never mined while living for good
very bad choice

Answer 6

It would be best to train in Japan. If you could learn Japanese well enough, pharmaceutical translation might be a good niche for you.
