Moving to Japan, any advice or direction?

Hello! I plan to move to Japan and start a new life there. At the moment, i am honestly confused between all the visa options and possibilities. I know i should probably do my own research first, however i do not know with which option to start.

About me: 27years old. I have finished an Economics/business school in Romania with very good grade and i have worked at a bank and for a software company (remote, english). I speak english fluently, but 0 japanese (i plan to start learning in a few days). Money: certainly far from being rich. Basically, what are my options?

What would you recommend me to do? Try for a Master’s program? Apply for jobs? English teaching ( i remember something about this possibility), Japanese language school?

I really want to get to Japan, even as a restaurant worker, but i am trying to figure out the best way for my future. I am committed to learn japanese and do whatever it takes.

Any input, advice or links are very much appreciated.

  2. Before making any decisions, take a vacation and go spend a couple of weeks in Japan. Then rethink about your plans.

  3. You might consider S Korea, which has a working holiday visa for Romanian citizens 18-30.

  4. If you have money, go as a student and learn Japanese. If you don’t have money, go as an English teacher.
