Hi guys, been a very long time since i last on this forum so its good to be back. Its been 4 years since i last lived in Japan and I really want to come back, only question is how? The easiest and best solution is getting a working holiday visa but the problem is I have already had one (4 years ago), I know of one person who has managed to get a second (by applying at the embassy in Scotland rather than London) and got lucky, but Im not sure of the chances of me getting that lucky. Second option is getting a work permit, I have a TEFL certificate plus 8 months teaching experience in Japan, but I have no uni degree, will this be enough for me to get a job and a work permit, years ago a degree was one of the minimum requirements to getting a visa but now it makes no mention of it on the embassy website, just says you need a certificate of eligibility. Third option and most expensive is to get a student visa by going to a Japanese language school, which are the best and cheapest ones to go for in the Tokyo/Yokohama region?
Im a british national and am 23 (24 when I start applying for a visa) if that info helps.
Thanks guys
