 Posted: Sat May 13, 2006 4:40 pm Post subject: Bring Degree to Japan |
 |
|
I'm going to Japan to look for a job...I'm pretty flexible to what kind of job I'm looking for.
Do you guys think I need to bring my university degree?
Will any employers actual check? |

9 times out of 10 immigration is the place that wants to see your degree in order to give you a work visa.
Bring it. |

| Yes, because if you want to change from a WHV you'll need your degree. |

| You pay more tax on a working holiday visa. Be smart. Come on a working holiday visa, get a job and change to a working visa (SIH or Instructor visa) depending on the teaching job. |

If you work 12 months on the WHV and want to stay here after that you will need your degree to get a work visa. Its up to you if you want to keep it with you or get it sent over when the time comes.
For a WHV you wont need a degree as its not a requirement of getting the visa. |

The tax rate for WHV holders is 20% all right, but I think you can get most of this back. Not so for your regular work visa holders. |

WHV requires neither a sponsor or a degree.
Its a work/ travel / holiday visa which lets its owner travel around japan and work PT or full time for up to one year. Its not designed to replace a full time sponsored work visa.
WHV is only available at overseas embassies and you have to apply in your home country. |

No, you need a sponsor for a work visa.
You don't for a working holiday visa. |
