Hi everyone,
I’m a nurse looking to work in Japan. I know I have to take their qualification exam (in Japanese), so I’m studying the language right now. However I still wanna move out there and get a job (even if it’s as a nursing assistant/caregiver) so I can immerse myself in the language.
How long was the visa process? And how much money do you recommend I save up to last at least 2 years in Japan? I told myself that if I wasn’t “thriving”(or rather, relatively happy and OK) after the two years is up that I’d move back to the states. I’m looking to live in Tokyo, so I know it’ll be more expensive.
Thanks!
(For context, I have been to Japan several times and also have family members that live there. I am fully aware that living vs vacationing there are vastly different. Also I am aware that Japan has its own problems.)
