Como ir morar no JAPÃO em 2024
Hi, for those who don’t know me, I’m Zeta and I’m going to live in Japan. Well, I always had the dream of visiting Japan, but I didn’t even know where to start. So that’s what I’m going to explain to you in this video.
But before I explain to you all the ways you can go to Japan, I think it’s worth a question: Is it still worth going to Japan in 2024? Well, of course if you are a person who likes anime, reads manga and… has always been passionate about Japanese culture,
The answer that comes to mind is… of course yes. But what about people who don’t have that much affinity with Japan? Is it worth it for them too? Well, right away we can conclude that this question only makes sense for those who want to go and live in Japan.
Because if it’s for tourism, visiting, getting to know Japan, the answer is of course yes, it will always be worth it. Japan is a very beautiful country, very culturally diverse. There you can have an almost cyberpunk experience walking around Tokyo at night, in Akihabara, Shinjuku and all these places.
In addition, you can have an experience of almost going back in time in villages that have been preserved and are now open to visitors. Like Shirakawa, for example. So, again, for tourism, visiting Japan, getting to know… Yes, it’s really worth it. But is living in Japan worth it?
This question can be a little subjective, because it will depend on whether you are a person who likes Brazil or not, whether you are very attached to your family, among other things. But leaving this subjectivity aside, I brought some data for us to analyze together.
Japan is the fourth largest economy in the world, while Brazil is five positions behind, in ninth place. Japan has a life expectancy of 85.03%. While here in Brazil, we live, on average, a decade less. With a life expectancy of 75.6 years. Japan ended 2023 with an unemployment rate of 2.4%,
While Brazil closed it with 7.8%. Also in 2023, Japan ended the year with a per capita income of $36,032. While Brazil closed with a fraction of that, with 8,831 dollars. There is also the fact that, because of the problem of low birth rates, Japan has been facing a labor shortage.
Making them need foreigners to meet this demand. So the Japanese government wants foreigners in the country. He wants you to go there. Okay, but what about earthquakes? According to a piece of news that I found on CBC, and I’ll leave the link here for anyone who wants to check it out,
The number of deaths in the earthquake on January 1st of this year was 213 people in total. While Brazil ended 2023 with approximately 40 thousand violent deaths. This gives an average of 109 deaths per day. And in January 2024 alone, Salvador closed the month with 116 firearm deaths.
What these data show us is that the probability of you being a victim of a violent act here in Brazil is much greater than the probability of you being a victim of a natural disaster there in Japan. So in my point of view, taking into account Considering everything I said here,
For me, yes, it is very worth going to live in Japan in 2024. Remembering that the sources for all this data I brought here I will leave in the description for anyone who wants to check it out. So, okay, I decided to go to Japan. What do I do?
Well, if you’re not Japanese, you can go to Japan. If you want to go as a tourist, just visit, get to know Japan, you buy your ticket and go. This is because since October last year, 2023, the Japanese government has determined that anyone who has Brazilian citizenship
Is exempt from the short-stay visa and can stay in the country for up to 90 days without carrying out any economic activity. But if you want to go and live in Japan, then you will need a visa. And the visas that allow you to do this are as follows. Specific visa, work visa,
Tokutei Ginou Visa, or specific skills visa, and the student visa. Starting from the beginning, I will explain each of them. The specific visa is given to descendants of Japanese up to the third generation, Japanese spouses or Japanese descendants up to the third generation, and dependents.
It lasts for 1 to 3 years and can be renewed. The work visa is among the most difficult for you to obtain, because to do so, you need to be hired by a Japanese company or a multinational with an office in Japan.
And generally these companies require you to have a level of proficiency in Japanese language. of at least N3 generally between N3 and N2. And as if that weren’t enough, for this visa, you need something called Certificate of Eligibility, which needs to be requested by the company that hired you
For Japanese immigration from Japan. And only after your certificate is approved and you have it in hand, You can here in Brazil, at the Japanese Embassy or at a Japanese consulate, apply for your work visa. The duration of this visa varies according to the activity you will carry out in Japan.
So there is no way for me to tell you the exact duration. Next, we have the Tokutei Ginou Visa, which translates as Specific Skills Visa. This visa is relatively new. It started in 2019 and it’s like a simplified work visa. But it is only valid for some sectors, namely Nursing Care, Building Cleaning,
Agriculture, Fishing Industry, Food and Beverage Manufacturing, Restaurant, Materials Industry, Industrial Machinery Industry, Electronic and Electrical Equipment Industry, Civil Construction , Shipbuilding and Car Maintenance This visa requires a lower level of proficiency in the Japanese language, with only N4 required. And it is also divided into two levels.
At level 1, you cannot take your family and it lasts for a maximum of 5 years. And for you to renew it, you need to level up. At level 2, you can now take your family and you can continually renew your visa, allowing you to stay in Japanese territory
For an indefinite period of time. Finally we arrived at the student visa and that’s where I’m going to delve a little deeper. Remember that I said at the beginning of the video that I’m going to live in Japan? So, it is through the student visa that I will do this.
My trip is still a long way off, it’s scheduled for 2027, because until then I need to save money to cover mine and my girlfriend’s trip. The exchange I’m going to do is a language exchange. In other words, I go there to study Japanese, to learn the language.
But then, how can you do that too? How do you get a student visa? It is not that simple. Just like I mentioned in the work visa, this visa also requires a certificate of eligibility. On a work visa, this certificate is requested for Japanese immigration by the company that hired you.
For a student visa, it must be requested by the school you are going to study at. In other words, you need to enroll in this school. And to enroll in school, in addition to paying, you need to send all your documentation translated into Japanese. So, if you don’t know Japanese,
You’ll either have to learn it first, or pay a translator to do it for you. Furthermore, Japanese schools usually conduct an interview with the student who wants to enroll there. To see if you match the profile of that school, if you know Japanese, if you will be able to follow classes, etc.
If you manage to enroll in this school, they will ask Japanese immigration for your eligibility certificate. And only after it is approved can you apply for your student visa at a consulate or Japanese embassy here in Brazil. And with your student visa approved, then you can go to Japan as a student.
But the drama doesn’t end there. Because you have to have somewhere to live. And if you are someone who follows the content of those who live in Japan, you know how difficult it can be for a foreigner to rent a property in Japan without help.
Furthermore, if you are not a person who comes from a wealthy family, you will probably have to find some way to support yourself there in Japan. With some part-time work, etc. And this can also be difficult to achieve on your own. In other words, it can be very
Difficult to go to Japan as a student on your own. So how did I do it? It’s very simple, I’m not going to do any of this alone. That’s because I’m going with a company specialized in exchange programs here in Brazil, called Living Japan. Living Japan is the largest exchange company
For Japan in Latin America. They have already sent more than 300 exchange students to Japan, and they have more than a thousand exchange students enrolled to go until 2028. And I am one of them. Living is a partner with several schools in Japan that can request this certificate of eligibility.
Because not just any school can do this. And in addition, they help you with all the steps I mentioned. In other words, they translate all your documents, carry out all the necessary documentation procedures. They also give you a Japanese course to prepare you for this interview with these schools.
And so you also don’t go to Japan without speaking absolutely nothing Japanese. They help you with boarding, and help you get an apartment in Japan. And they also ask Japanese immigration for authorization so that you can, as an exchange student, work up to 28 hours a week to cover your expenses in Japan
During the exchange. They also help you later, when your language course is ending, to enroll in a technical course or college in Japan. This way you can continue with your student visa. Or they even help you change your visa to a work visa. Being hired by a company in Japan, etc.
Basically, Living is like a mother to you when you go to Japan through them. They also have some really cool success stories. Like, for example, an exchange student who was hired by a company in Japan, before even leaving there. In other words, he is no longer going as an exchange student.
He goes straight with the work visa, all with the help of Living who created this bridge between him and this company in Japan. If you want, I’ll try to bring an interview with this exchange student here to the channel. Because I think it could be very interesting content for you.
In addition to the exchange, they also have the Tokyo experience, which is a trip they take you to see the best places in Tokyo. I’ve never been, but I think it could be a great experience for those who haven’t decided to do the exchange yet. This may seem like a publicity,
But it isn’t. I’m just talking about them, because I go through them. And I think that all the information I brought here could be very relevant for those of you who have this dream of going to Japan too. So if you want to get in touch with them,
I’ll leave the link here in the description, where you fill out a form and they will contact you and explain everything exactly how all the steps work until you go to Japan. So that’s it. . This is the first video on the channel, where I decided to bring
You some information about the different ways you can go to Japan, whether you are a descendant or not. In my case, I am not a descendant and I believe that most of you who will watch this video are not either. I intend to bring more content like this, right? Informative about Japan,
But I also intend to bring content about anime, pop culture, things about Japan in general, as well as my journey and my preparation until I go to Japan and start bringing content straight from there to you. I hope you liked it. If you liked it, please
Leave a like and subscribe to the channel, as this will motivate me to continue bringing videos here for you. Then that’s it. A kiss for those who have watched this far and see you later.
