Hello! I’m currently about to graduate from undergrad, and am looking into applying for the MEXT scholarship for graduate school. I did a semester of my undergrad in Japan and would love to go back.
Obviously, there’s no guarantee I’ll actually receive the scholarship, but before even applying I wanted to work out any potential issues that could arise. The main one is that I have a long-term boyfriend who I would ideally not prefer to be separated from for two years.
As I would be on a student visa, how difficult would it be for him to receive a working visa to come live with me during that time? Would he have to get a job in Japan or could he work remotely? And I know this is difficult to answer given lack of details, but does anyone have any ideas realistic work opportunities he could pursue while living there? I would be living off of the MEXT stipend and savings but he would still need an income
Hope this all makes sense! Thanks for any advice in advance!
