Hi everyone,
I'm kinda getting confused about the student visa-work issue:
Is it possible to work right away as soon as I receive a student visa part-time in Japan
(let's say max. 25-30 hours/week)?
Recently I read that some ppl had to wait for many months to get their permission and start working...
that would be bad for me since I'm seriously running out of money -.-
And do you think an Italian can find some job easily in Tokyo/Chiba?
I'm 24 btw, my English skill could be considered as at least fluent and I'm a native speaker of German/Italian (+ lil bit of French).
Moving to Japan was not always my dreams, but I decided to do this since I've been in a long-term relationship with my gf for almost 5 years now. Actually I knew it will be very hard to live in Japan, but well, I'd do everything for this relationship we have. And of course I do love Japan, too! Culture, people, traditions and food. Sometimes I just feel so hopeless about living in Japan,
concerning work/visa etc.
Can you give me any advice what I can/have to do?
ps: sry for asking so many questions in one thread, I thought before I open up too many I better ask you guys those questions in this topic...
