Martial arts visa? |
Travel Info Can you get a visa that allows you to study martial arts and let you work a little to support yourself in japan Travel Tips 鈾hat would probably fall under the "Cultural Activities" Visa type and unfortunately that type of visa is a "Statuses of residence not permitting work". Please take a look here: http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/... For visas that permit work, look here: http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/... Hope this helps!

I think you are better off coming to Japan on a working visa and then studying martial arts on the side. If you enroll in a university of sports and physical education. you can study on students visa, which allows you to work to support yourself.You are even eligible to Monbusho or other scholarships Check these universities: http://www.nittai.ac.jp/eng/ http://www.nifs-k.ac.jp/english/index.ht... http://www.u-tokai.ac.jp/english/dept/ta... http://phys.kokushikan.ac.jp/martialart.... (this one is Japanese only, but here's the e-mail) taiiku01@kokushikan.ac.jp There's also international budo(martial arts) university in Chiba, near Tokyo. They don't have English page, here's the one in Japanese. http://www.budo-u.ac.jp/ You can e-mail them and ask for specifics. kokusai@budo-u.ac.jp Back in the day a culture visa was easy to obtain and allowed you to work. Nowadays, it's usually only a hombu dojo who can sponsor one and you are not supposed to be working. A working holiday visa might be an option for you. I can't advise you to break the rules, but as long as you have a visa no one is going to fuss too much if you have a side job even if you are not really supposed to. Immigration enforcement is much more interested in people who have no visa at all than someone with a culture visa who gives a few language lessons on the side. As Adam says, go to Japan, get a job and take it from there. You can usually quit the job but keep the visa as long as you don't totally jerk around your original employer. I have had just about every type of visa status Japan has. |
