   **Can I get a Visa and stay in Japan after getting fully employed after the internship?**

   Hi everyone, as the title says I hope to get an internship in Japan (or pay for one) in the near future.
   I am currently employed in the field that I want to apply for (Graphical Design) but I am also in the second year of my university where I attend remotely (the university has this option for employed students).
   With a passport from my country, I can stay for 3 months with no need for a visa.
   I am also practicing Japanese daily and plan on getting N4 later this year if it helps anyhow.
   So my question is, since I don’t have completed bachelor’s degree and I don’t have 10 years of experience, is there a way to stay working at the company if they offer me full employment?
   I also heard about a Specific Skilled Worker visa so if you can tell me if it’s applicable in this case.
   Thank you

2. If the internship is considered a job then you can’t get a visa without your degree.

   If its counted as schooling then you could in theory apply for a student visa.

   That’s about it.
