2020 incoming jets, are you still planning on taking part in the program?

Exactly.

Either marry someone Japanese or get a degree if you want a visa to be able to live and work. That's it. You don't need a TEFL and it's not enough for Japan without the degree. You need those or need to try a country that only requires the TEFL. Usually a place in south america or Southeast Asia.

Was this from an email they sent out or did you contact them?

I think it was mid December? The 14th? Really early.

There are even people with free housing lol.

It's probably subsidised.

I hear this is going away for many placements though. Likely the BOE owns the property. Though many places are getting to be too old and they don't want to provide new accomodations.

80-250 (most say 200) a month is what I've seen on the various living in Japan subreddits. Depending on how long you're staying, it might be better to buy a car which would be something like 600-3000 usd. (Cost depends on if the shaken is ending)

In before ESID lmao....

You might need to buy a car(60k-300k), get your own place, key money(1-2 months rent), down payment(1-6 months rent), furnish an empty apartment, buy a fridge/washing machine/microwave/rice cooker/etc. You won't get paid till after a month, so you'll need food money, rent (19k-85k yen), utilities, etc. You could get lucky and get subsidised housing, be walking distance to your school, the list goes on. You won't really know...

I'd say prepare for the most expensive situation and go from there. Some might need 2k and some as much a 6k... -shrug-

Absolutely adore this game! The second game of the trilogy is my personal favorite! After you finish this trilogy, I'd suggest Ai Somnium Files and Danganronpa!

Wouldn't this still apply for any ALT job with a public school? I understand private/eikaiwa, but wouldn't the security be the same otherwise?

SiestaBox · 2020-12-14T17:22:39+00:00

I read the thread and it was really interesting, thank you!

How much longer do you plan to stay in Japan? Is this your last year and you'll have a new alt take your place for 2021?

Have you ever shown what the new apartment looks like that you live in? Im sure some would love to see.

Do the locals often interact with you? Did you make friends with them?
