Unhappy From visitor to work visa? - 09-28-2008, 10:32 PM

Hey guys. I've recently decided to travel to Japan this next December and stay for around 6 months. I researched work opportunities in this forum and other websites, and apparently the easiest way out (given my short stay) is to get a job as an English teacher.

The problem is the following... I'd rather work as a part-time teacher, as I would like to have time to explore the country, but I won't get sponsored for a work visas unless its a full-time job. I also can't plan on traveling there on a visitor visa and then switch to a work visa because i require a return ticket (within 3 months from arrival time) which I would have to forfeit given my length of stay. Could anyone recommend any other alternatives to this Catch-22? Please correct me if I'm wrong in any of my assumptions as well. Thanks in advance for your time.
