Want to move to japan where to start
Hello I am 17 going to be finished with high school in the next few months, my ultimate goal is to become a citizen in japan and I know thats going to take a long time but I am determined. I know I need 5 years of continous residency but Im not sure where to start , obviously I need to learn japanese and I am enrolling in classes for that really soon but then what? I understand teaching might be a good idea but where would I start would I need to go to college in Japan or here? what degree would I need ? thanks in advance for any advice.

Few foreigners living in Japan actually become Japanese citizens.
Maybe you should think about visiting at least once before discarding your citizenship of the country you are from. Also, do you have college in your future? That will be required for you to be able to teach. |
I understand that Ill need college I just need to know like, what type of college id need and if i wanted to teach english in japan would I be able to go get the degree Id need there or would I need to do it here

Any degree would do I think and learning Japanese is a must. If you are thinking about teaching a language such as English you could apply for JET. I know JET will allow you to live and work in Japan for five years.
|
I went and looked up jet it seems like a good idea so I guess ill start looking into getting the right degree, Is it possible for an american to go to japan to get a teaching degree?
|
You don't need to do a teaching degree to become a JET, they accept any degree.
|
So with that being said is it possible to go to japan for a that degree?
|
Well what degrees are you interested in studying?
|
Im not particularly sure is there a such thing as a degree in japanese language and or culture?
|
Yes you can do a degree in Japanese studies. It's a four year degree which you will study the Japanese language for three years at a university in your home country and then you will spend the final year in Japan to finish the degree.
