How I moved to Japan from the Philippines | Life in Japan

[@marlon94124]

There are a lot of Filipino people living in Tokyo, Japan. A lot of them know how to speak and write in Japanese, and that will make you trilingual

I want to move to japan so bad. But i have no idea how, all i know is Japan is more strict than any other countries. The paperwork scares me lol And ofcourse i have to consider the cost too. Plus i want to bring a pet with me.

having a pet in Japan is going to cost you some fortune due to their strict guidelines for owning one.

This video isn’t for low/middle class who wants to apply/move to Japan. I once attended a seminar from Jellyfish and somehow their offer is quite expensive for those who want to apply/more to Japan. Tho reasonable because they use the “study now, pay later” system I think.

[@wyncrystmontilla9128]

How much is it?

[@kmart1226]

Grabe ang tagal na pala ang process ng eligibility ngayon. Yung sa akin mabilis lang noon 2014, under also with jellyfish. Nagsubmit ako ng requirements in september 2014 then nakuha ko yun nung 1st week of december of the same year, then the next month naka lipad na ako. Maybe iba na ngayon unlike before na mas strict na ng konti.

[@marvineunoia3439]

Hi. I just got my COE for student visa but I have to pay 400k for 1 year class. I will study in Japan for 2 years so I should prepare at least 800k for tuition fees only. Is it worth it? I mean, I am also planning to get tourist visa since my auntie is in Japan right now. Is it possible that I can turn it into working visa if there would be a company who is liking my job performance? Thank you. I am so confused.

[@heidisarol]

Marvin Eunoia Hi Marvin, congrats on your COE! I think going to language school is only worth it if you plan to use Japanese to enter an office or to take further studies. If it aligns with your goals then by all means go for it. From what I know, they will not be permitting tourist visa holders to change their status into working visas any longer. I could be wrong so please fact check. Thank you and good luck!

I read on the Jellyfish Education website that you need to be 18-30 years old. Is it still possible for people who are in their 30s to study in Japan?

[@kentoooo9297]

Hi I’m also a jellyfish product... have you tried going back to the Philippines? Because from my experience, the poea POLO in tokyo is giving me a hard time to get the OEC. Though i manage to persuade them. I just want to know if jellyfish is still a good option coz i was thinking of sponsoring my gf.. thanks. Ps: they hate jellyfish inc.

[@reginamarissediaz4376]

Hi Heidi, it’s me again! I have been binge watching your videos and I wanted to ask a few questions about visa ex. Visa status, length of validity, and what you can do with a work visa (I just watched your videos about working as an English teacher). Also, in relation to the vaccine roll out in Japan, do you think work visa holders would be eligible at all? Your response will be appreciated!

[@KitsuneSydney]

Visa status is easy to get (student/job) and will usually have to be renewed every year or two. My student visa lasted for 2 years and my marriage visa (current) needs to be renewed every year (: I think you can come if you have a work visa, but it will need to be when the lockdown ends I think. Which is end of august now. If all else fails I am sure by the end of the year everyone will be able to come back

[@heidisarol]

So sorry for the late reply! visa length varies per status from what I remember. I only had a year and 3 months when I was a student. Currently I'm on a work visa that needs to be renewed yearly. Yes as long as you have residence status in Japan I think you qualify for a vaccine!
