Hi everyone, I’m planning on moving to Japan in 2027 for about a year, maybe a year and a half. I will be applying to a language school and I wanted to know if roughly 6 months will be enough to submit my visa application and prepare? I will be taking the JLPT exam in July, and from what I know the results should be out by September. Is this early enough to enrol for a semester in April?
Which is a good affordable Japanese language school in Tokyo which is diverse and doesn’t consists of only chinese/westerns like mix of all so doesn’t feel out of the place near an affordable locality. regional cities works too if it’s near Tokyo or providing better benefits
hello. i am exploring options to go to Japan on student visa to study language, I already have some basic knowledge but my main concern is most school are 3 hour a day and very intensive, the expect you to study +2 hours a day on your own, a lot of homework and new word but i work remotely and i have to work every day, it will be very hard for me to combine both. is there language school that slow paced and not demanding? so i can maintain life balance. I do not mind take it slow, i do not have goal to go university or something, i basically just want to stay in Japan longterm while learning basics of language
Hey yall, I’ve started looking at visa‘s bc this whole thing seems like a mess, it looks like a COE is the only way to get a student visa? But honestly at this point I have no clue, Meiji Academy apparently doesn‘t sponsor visa’s (?????) which makes no sense to me so I’m screwed that way, I’m wondering how you guys got visa’s to stay for longer periods if you were studying at a language school. It’s not a college, I wont be getting a certificate or degree at the end. I contacted my local embassy but haven’t heard back, this just seems like a mess.
Hello All, Ive been wanting to make this post for a while but I guess today’s that day! Im 35 (M), a US Navy vet, and Ive been working as a civilian Network Engineer for the last 3 years handling switches, sd-wan, waps, and firewalls. Im currently making preparations for a long term transition/pivot to Japan, which includes enrolling into a language school for the April 2027 intake; Id like to use language school to bridge into an IT vocational school or a university program (with the goal of IT or Web3/blockchain infrastructure). Ive spent some of time looking into prospective regions, and Fukuoka is currently my top choice! This mainly came down to: 1. Being away from Tokyo! 2. Cheaper than Tokyo! 3. When I visited a few years ago, I enjoyed the vibe (almost reminded me of Yokohama) 4. FFLC since they award a Senmonshi. Since then, ive reached out to 2 “We’ll help you go to Language schools”, agencies. Those being Go!Go! Nihon, and Coto; but honestly I know they are biased which gets to the purpose of this post. Im looking for this subreddit to weigh in on about your experience (if any), advice, and options to hopefully assist me in making final decisions. I deeply want to learn the language and don’t mind spending an initial 2 years to properly learn. Id say that money is not an issue for me as I plan to self-sponsor. I have around $70k in liquid assets and a guaranteed monthly VA pension. Since I mentioned web3/blockchain, I’m also studying to take the HFCP exam before I go. Here are my burning question for you! A. Has anyone used language schools in Fukuoka as a bridge for IT or University? How was the support? B. What’s the job market look like in Fukuoka for an IT infrastructure guy? C. Besides FFLC, are there alternative schools in Fukuoka or nearby regions that have stronger reputation for routing older, professional students into technical higher ed tracks rather than younger language tourists?
