Hi all,

Firstly thanks if your taking time to read this to try and help me!

My girlfriend has had a job offer for placement in Tokyo and she will be on an "Intercompany Visa".

We're not married. I dont have a degree. I was wondering what the best way would be to get a work Visa.

I've spoken to the Consulate of Japan here in the Uk, and they are saying it would be ok to keep renewing my Tourist Visa until I get a job over there, and then that employer would have to apply for a "Certificate of Elegibility", then I could leave the country, and re-enter with a work Visa.

I dont know if anybody else has been through a similar process or knows somebody that has?

If you could give me any help that would be greatly appreciated, if not, many thanks for taking the time to read this anyway.

Thanks and take care,

Brett
