Hey all, I am looking to move to Japan with my partner both on the HSP track. I am struggling a little to figure out how the points really add up, and how to best use my time.
A big decision is do I work for a year, I am not clear on how I would prove my work history, expecially as some companies I worked for now no longer exist, and have been self-employed.
The other option is do a Japanese Studies course. From reading the rules it looks like doing any Japanese Studies course from even a Uni not in the top 100 would give me the same point value as passing the N1?
I'd like to begin an application with Lawyers to begin collating the documents needed before I leave the UK and get some general advice. Happy to pay whatever those fees and advice are.
I've applied for a consultation weeks ago with a few lawyers I found online like Yokoyama, Samurai Law Firm etc but they don't get back. Any personal recommendations? Feel free to DM if you don't want to post them publicly.
Plus I will take advice on the above if you've got it. Thanks and see you soon!
