Hello everyone:
As a current JET, I am leaving the program after 2 years here to go to greener pastures. I have always been under the impression that once one leaves, one cannot rejoin it at anytime. Now, I have heard you have to stay away for 5 years and can then reapply. I have never heard this before (or maybe no one as tried it before) but was wondering if anyone could shed some light on it for me.
Stay Genki  |

Never really heard of this but one of the regulations to apply is you can not have been in Japan for 3 years within the last eight years. that means you need to be away at least 5 years or have less than 3 years on the JET program.
I have never really heard of people being re-accepted after quitting once already but i guess there is a first time for everything. Probably they would ask you why they should hire you again when there are so many non-participants that they turn down every year. |

From the JET website
Eligibility
General Information:
Please be aware that not all countries are recruiting participants for the JET Programme. This is primarily because the decision as to how many participants to be recruited in which country depends mainly upon the request of the local governments in Japan. If you are interested in participating in the Programme, you are advised to contact the Embassy of Japan in your home country to find out if your country is on the list of countries where recruitment is expected.
All applicants must:
hold a Bachelor's degree in any subject by July of 2005;
be a citizen of the country where the recruitment and selection procedures take place;
have excellent skills in the designated language (both written and spoken). (For English-speaking countries this is English, and for non-English speaking countries it is English or the principal language);
have a keen interest in the country and culture of Japan;
in principle, be under 40 years of age;
not have lived in Japan for 3 or more of the last 8 years, nor be a former participant in the programme for the last 10 years. |
