Also, another thing about the whole contract matter, so basically if you want to extend your stay there in Japan to continue teaching English, all you have to do is "renew" your contract, right? Or is there a some sort of limit that restricts your stay there and thats that? Thanks in advance.
You can be an ALT in different companies besides JET. There's also Interac and many others. Also, when you renew your contract your work visa is extended. You can stay and work in Japan for as long as you want as long as you have a sponsored work visa. The company you work for sponsors your work visa. Here's the Interac website.
