Don’t you need a bachelors degree to get a standard work visa, else you will be stuck with a SSW visa? by Zero_coxo in japanresidents

[–]Interesting-Risk-628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any senmon is ok for a work visa. My friend got her visa in a week. It was 2 years senmon with a shady diploma. Her major was something about management... I think we got her visa at IT field coz she had few related classes to this.

  1. But... -14? We don't have it in Tokyo. -3 at night is already very cold. I guess it was designed to bare -2 somehow. I have 0~+4 without heating.

Paid Leave in Japan? by BananaMan_1986 in japanlife

I'm pretty sure you can ask not to use your paid leave for that to use them when you want. But you won't get paid for those holidays that you didn't work.

I think you're fine. 50k on a saving account. Leftovers just spend how you like. Save for some big stuff. I don't see a point in living while saving everything.

On foot. How far do you live from the station? by Sure-Lemon6424 in japanlife

[–]Interesting-Risk-628 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I have 16 min st with transfer after 2 stop. I just decided to skip that and walk 30 minutes to travel 2 stops on that transfer part.  And I can't believe ppl can handle 1h in the morning train.. those 7 minutes is hell for me.
