Hi guys. The thread is somehow dill. Anybody still waiting for updates from school?

Please how many months bank statement is required to submit to the institution for Japanese Certificate of eligibility

Uchebenny:
Please how many months bank statement is required to submit to the institution for Japanese Certificate of eligibility

At least three months old. It should contain the minimum amount for the city the institution is situated in. For instance, for a two-year MSc program in the Tokyo Institute of Technology, the minimum should be ¥100K X 24 months. You convert the total to dollars then to naira, equivalent at black market rates.

Tokyo is the most expensive city in Japan, so every other city should be less than that.

Any possible means?

Any possible means?

To be honest, the possible means have been mentioned from the initial pages. The surest is via school, even if it is language school. Another is English teaching. Other option is work visa. Note that in all cases, the company/school applies for your visa on your behalf. It is your duty to search for what you want and then apply. Trust me, the process is straightforward.

It seems you only contacted one language school whereas you should contact as many as possible preferably outside the Kanto and Kansai regions so that your living expenses would be low. I don't know anything about English teaching, but as a Nigerian, you would be competing with Americans, Brits and generally Europeans - whom as white people, they are preferred. However, that does not mean they don't accept blacks. But you should know what you are competing against and who your competitors are. Check Chilo Talks on YouTube, she interviewed a Nigerian woman who came in as an ALT. That language school did not want you, or she has a minimum Japanese level for prospective students. Alternatively, you apply as a graduate student. However, if your aim isn't really schooling, the above are your surest means of coming to Japan.

If you really want to come here, you have to really research and chart your course. I recall emailing Gaijin Pot about graduate school and was told they don't cater to Africans. Did that stop me? No.

God's blessings brother, although I contacted a lot of schools and only 1 replied and their answer was that as long as I graduated for over 5 years now, I will need to explain the sudden interest of Japanese language or probably take an exam.
Now I am trying to project my wife for ALT job and like 3 recruiting agencies has shown interest because of her documents.
She is a certified teacher with TRCN, Second class upper graduate of education from UNN and 2 years working experience in a Federal government girls college.
Please if you know any guildline that will be helpful to us, I wont mind sir.

I am also ready to walk the language school route too.

Thanks for your time bro.

I love Japan because I deal on used auto parts and Japan is the main stream for my business.

If they have shown interest, then you should follow up with it. The process is very easy provided they (the schools) are replying emails and you are following up. However, if your wife gets in, I don't think she will be able to bring you along. At least, not on that class of visa considering the low pay for English teachers. As for information, I already suggested Chilo Talks, please watch the video. Also, check other online resources. Something like "how to get into Japan as an ALT", "Black ALTs in Japan", "African ALTs in Japan" etc. You can add Reddit at the end of each term, so you get to the various Japan sub-rooms in Reddit.

It is your responsibility to do your research on the way forward.

Guru in the house please what are the chances of tourist visa holder in Japan?
Can someone who come with a tourist visa get a job?

Based on my research on Japanese website including Immigration Services Agency of Japan, lawyer, administrative scrivener etc, as a general rule, answer is No.

Tourist visa and working visa is different.
Company can't employ tourist visa person.

And change tourist visa to working visa is also as a general rule can't do it.

But if company wanna take tourist visa person, first thing is need apply to Certificate of Eligibility.
But tourist visa is short time. So if couldn't done procedure before expire this person's visa, this person have to leave Japan.
If still stay in Japan, this person become over stay person.
So, if couldn't done, this person have to go back and wait.

I think I can say this is very difficult.

peacefull:

If you will check their website, you can see "Visa" on the bottom of the screen from their top page.
You can check about visa from there!
