Question:
Hi, does anyone have any knowledge of experience about working or volunteering in Japan? My hisband and I are between jobs, and would like to explore a new country. Ideally, we'd like to live in Japan for 2 to 6 months, starting in January 2012.
We're European nationals with good degrees. Although we don't have a teaching qualification, we have a lot of teaching experience, so working in a school would probably be the best option.
Thank you everyone for your help :)
Answer:
What's a European national ? Europe isn't a country...In most cases you can only stay 90 days as a visitor. Most ESL schools want a native English speaker and a one year contract. It takes time & money to sponsor a work visa. Finding work together won't be easy. Japan isn't an easy country to move to.
Want to work for room & board ? You can try the wwoofjapan route. This is where you work on an organic farm. I'd do it myself if I were younger.
