Hello everyone!
I want to ask the users here about several things concerning visas:
1. Where can I find the Japanese laws concerning visas and immigration? I?m searching for a website that would have all that information either translated from the original Japanese laws or just synthesized yet detailed.
2. What kind of visa do I need if I want to live and work in Japan?
3. Is there a way to live, rent an apartment and work permanently in Japan without having Japanese citizenship (with some kind of renewable visa maybe)?
Please, guide me through this, as I get different, contradictory information from different people.

.

Thank you for the fast answer. I will definitely contact the Japanese embassy in the near future about it although that's the last place to contact. I would like to be prepared before that, to know more before asking about things I'm not yet familiar with completely :>

As I found out your top priority should be finding a job! Something I'm trying for several months now with 0 luck.
From that point everything will flow almost by itself ... meaning you'll know exacly what to do or will be told what and how to do it.

Thank you for your answer as well. Anybody with information about the procedures of finding a job that would grant a visa, please write too....like information about places I could search in, websites, the procedure of getting a job itself and such.

Where are you from mate?
I keep looking for a job for almost 6 months now.
The easyest pick is the english teaching jobs. LOTs of them around.
I personally look in: www.LINK DELETED.com

It will be a very good idea if someone can post even more job sites. I'm looking from ouside 日本, so jobs need to sponsor a visa!
