What about resident visas? I'm planning on going to school to be an english teacher (my first choice was animator or 3d designer, but ...there are close to 0 colleges in my area that offer that major, and since my grades weren't the best, it would be impossible for me to get a scholorship, although I have heard that the US gov. does give grants to people who want to study overseas. But I haven't found any evidence supporting this, only rumors. anywhoo, since it probably would be incredibly too tough to be a 3d animator in the US, much less japan, Im thinking an english teacher would be my best option, since people always say I have a way with kids. of course im planning to get a college degree before moving (hopefully) to japan permanently... So, does anyone know the requirements for a resident visa? just so I would be prepared XD
