Wife is getting offered a job in Okinawa that would start in February if she chooses to go with it.
We are a family of three. The job will take care of her visa and walk her through it all. My daughter could get a dependent visa and go to international school or regular Japanese school.
However I am worried about me. I am in the IT field and have been for 3 years. I have no bachelor’s degree only an associates. I am of Japanese decent but its been a few generations.
I understand I could get a dependant visa but I would love to continue working at my current job as I am sure they would offer me remote work. I know it’s limited to 28 hours and I wouldn’t want to do that and pay double taxes. I also know there is no way for them to know I am working remote. I do like to follow the rules as well, don’t bite the hand that feeds.
I currently speak very little Japanese as well so I am not sure I could get a job there to sponsor me.
My wife will be getting around 8mil and housing assistance.
Would we even be able to afford for me to say go to school(online us) and possible japanese language school while there?
Could I get any other visa to help with this?
To us it’s an insane opportunity and we have visited the country and enjoyed it.
