What about being a private English tutor outside of a school or other institution. Does that kind of thing happen? If yes, how probable? And, is it legal if you are legally in the country?
It's not hard work to get, really easy, acutally. But you need to have a visa to live in a foreign country. In Japan to have a work visa you must have a sponsor. That means a company that has promised to hire you and can guarantee you aren't going to be a homeless person in Japan. In general a sponsor wants someone with a college degree, and if not a remarkable skill (i.e. baseball player, soccer player) or many years of experience in whatever field they are entering.
