The majority of people move to Japan to either teach English, or be employed in a role that requires dealing with people who speak English, or a language other than Japanese.
However, does the Japanese government, or Japanese companies ever sponsor skilled workers from overseas to work in Japan in a normal job that is not targetted specifically at foreigners?
For example, if a registered Paramedic with a degree in Paramedic Science from the UK wanted to work in Japan, would they be able to find a hospital or ambulance provider willing to sponsor them, and if so, would the immigration authorities be likely to approve a visa?
