| That's one for the folks who live in Japan just now - I don't know myself as I'm heading back to Japan next year, but I'll have a spouse visa. |

I heard somewhere that only jobs with established companies with whom you sign a contract are applicable to that 200,000 yen a month requirement... |
That's what I heard, too. You need to show them contracts between you and the employer. That's why that route is usually only taken by people teaching part-time at several eikaiwa, high schools, universities etc. |

No one said there was. |

| Whatever. It was obvious that he meant the self-sponsored visa and was describing it as a 'freelance teaching'- because in that case you aren't working for a single full-time employer. |

I meant "self-sponsored visa."
Semantics, semantics.
Honestly, unless the name in Japanese is "serufu suponsaado biza" in katakana, I think there could multiple translations.
I consider working for multiple schools on a voluntary basis to be "freelance," so I see nothing incorrect about referring to it as a "freelance teaching visa." Nobody is ever truly self-employed, aside from subsistence farmers and hunter-gatherers... |
