Marry a japanese lady. Spouse visa qualifies you to work limitlessly. Alternatively, arrange with a company to sponsor your trainee visa. We got serious shortages of workers. But Nigeria passport holders hard but not impossible

jihday:
lol, thank Bro

komia:

That’s not hiragana. It’s katakana which is used to write foreign names.

blackbriar:



true but in a filling a japanese form online , its either hiragana full width or half width......the asci code

Please Sir, enlighten me on how to go about arranging a company to sponsor a trainee visa. Thank you and remain blessed

komia:


The form is basically made for a typical Japanese which has 2 sections-kanji- Chinese characters and hiragana the simplified japanese characters. A foreigner lacks kanji. What’s mostly is normally done is you write that kanji section using Romaji ( normal alphabet). The other section you write katakana characters. That means you write your name twice which is the common and official way to write documents in Japan.

moonraker:


Hmmmm. This statement is strange to me.

For Foreigners in general, Katakana is used.

Some organizations require that you put in Kanji characters.

However, foreigners dont have kanji names (unless ofcourse they become citizens, in which case, they have to change their names to something that has a Kanji).

Now in this case, Hiragana will be the next best thing.

A trainee visa you need a company in Japan who are willing to sponsor your trainee visa( 2 yrs renewable). They have to indicate to immigration that the knowledge you acquire will be beneficial to your home country after you are done. Of course government not so keen on specifics as they have a serious labour shortage.
Also many guys I know get married and acquire the spouse visa.
How do you get a company to sponsor your Visa? Stay tuned. I will take you step by step how to go about it

Trainee work no easy o.....90k ¥ average salary.
Plus be very very careful with the company before they send you go Fukushima reactor plant.
People do it , save up and start schooling afterwards mostly Vietnamese and Philippines

Methinks you said atiku was your saviour?

I believe you should give Komia more time as Japan has long working hours, time difference is another thing (9 hours ahead). Also, he should please post the process here for all to learn.

On my part, I fell in love with Japan (my username says it all) since I was ten (the culture, development, work ethic, safety etc.) and I am currently in my mid-20's; my ultimate dream is to study, work and reside in Japan for the rest of my life. Through the internet, I learnt the language (yet to write my N5 exams though). It has not been easy keeping up with the language as I have not seen anyone (physically) speaking or interested in speaking Japanese. Or does anyone know where someone can learn Japanese in Lagos (physical classes)?

davodyguy:

7 hours

NaotoKan:


Thanks for the correction but a quick Google search gave me 8.
