   **Three questions about visas. Originally the title had “one”, but it kinda got out of hand…**

   My current plan is to get a traveler’s visa, at which point I sprint to the closest trade school, study, and get upgraded to a trade school visa.
   Housing? The cheapest available. I heard there are these 1-night cells you can sleep in, and the building has a shower.

   Plan B is the manga visa. The first issue with it is that nobody reads manga in the country I live in.
   OK, a very VERY small population reads manga. The first (and only =[) anime/manga convention I went to was roughly 100-150 people large. According to a DDG, Tel Aviv is roughly 4.4mil people large.
   I can’t be famous.
   Now I’m wondering if I can become famous in Japan and obtain a mangaka visa THAT WAY…

   Also, this is my first draft of the email I want to send to the embassy. Is it too unhinged? 😅

   Not how it works.

   >Plan B is the manga visa.

   No such thing.

3. Let us know how this well thought out plan works

4. Dude, you need to seriously calm down. First step, delete that mail. It’s batshit crazy. Why would you ever think that would be a good idea to write?

   Second step, do some research on visa first. I mean you are suggesting visa fraud in your mail to the embassy. Not very smart in my humble opinion.

   Generally speaking there are three options for you to consider to get a foothold in Japan. Work Visa – Only possible if you have a degree or a lot of work experience. Student Visa – language school for a couple of years and/or university (If you have the funds). Working Holiday Visa – conditions apply, among others: You have to be below 30 and your home country needs to have an agreement with Japan.

5. How old are you ?

6. You claim to be 34 but you write with the energy and maturity of a 16 year old girl so please, for the love of God, send that email to the embassy. I really want to see how the Japanese tell you “you sound insane and did zero research, so no, thanks” in the politest way possible.

7. If you want to move to Japan you have to offer something to the country. Meaning you have to go there to work.
   You can get a Student Visa and learn language or something else but you will need funds to sustain yourself during that time.
   As some mentioned that email is a nice way to get blacklisted, you are saying “I don’t have anything to offer but i want to live there, I’m kind of unstable but whatever”
   And on the “I can’t become famous because no one reads manga on my country” you do know internet exists right? you are using it right now. You don’t need the people of your country to be your only public. Also Webtoons are 100% an option, there is a lot of Manhwa(korean manga) that are super popular and most of those started as weebtoons, also One punch man was just a web thing at first, Radiant is a french manga and got an Anime adaptation in Japan.

   You need to push the brakes a bit, you obviously don’t have a plan and are acting only emotion.
