For a working visa, the two main points (and the most important) are:
1. You must hold a four-year bachelor's degree from an accredited university. 2. You must be hired by a company first, who will then sponsor your visa. There are no exceptions here. The only exception is the Working Holiday Visa, which is only available to nationals from Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Korea, New Zealand, Ireland and UK. |

That depends. You need to be fluent (and I mean completely fluent) in Japanese to attend university. It can take 3 or 4 years of serious study to attain that kind of fluency, so you might be better off just attending university in your home country and take Japanese classes there. If you're really yearning to get to Japan and live there for awhile, you can take a year-long study abroad trip while you're attending university (which is what I did).
There are a small amount of universities in Japan that do have an English curriculum (and by small amount, I mean about two or three). However, they're private schools, and they're very expensive. |

Either that, or marry a Japanese citizen, or teach English. Those are pretty much your only choices. Japan is very selective about allowing foreigners to go and live and work there. |

The only way you can live in Japan for any period of time before graduation from college would be on an exchange program. Other than that, graduate from college (or at least get close) and start applying.
Japan is a lot more fun when are you getting paid, not paying to be there. |

With your current skills, you have 0 chance of getting anywhere in Japananese society especially language skills. In fact your social standing will be around the same as illegal mexican immigrants that cross the USA border every year (no language skills, no practical skills that are in demand). It might sound harsh but from your posts, it is clear you are very naive. I suggest you check out MMM's "I don't want to live in Japan" thread first. Japan's GDP is plunging at a rate of -12% a year, Japanese people are having trouble finding jobs, Japan's economy is practically under seige right now and they have no room for baggage. It isn't exactly Anime happyville at the moment or whatever imaginery ideas you have about Japan. |
