No Degree, Please Help!!!

[Salatine]

Hi my bf and I want to go and work in japan, i have a degree and 21 but my bf is 28 with no degree. He will be nearly 30 by the time we will get the chance to go and i know that is pushing it for the working holiday visa, we're from the UK.

Does anyone know what his options are? Is there any way at all that he can get a job there?

Please help!

Many Thanks ;D

My understanding is working holiday visa's only go up to 25? could be wrong, I get alot of stuff mixed about.

A good place to ussually make a start is to make inquieries at a Japanese consulate/embassy.

I dont really know any way to get around immigration law, nor do I really make it a priority, but yeah, best bet is to start there.

Good luck.

Its not getting a job that you worry about, its getting permission to work in Japan. Choices are get married and he can apply for a dependant visa (allows work), or working holiday. Otherwise, no visa, no working, no staying in Japan over 6months.
