Is it possible to obtain a permanent visa for Japan if working as a TEFL teacher? -

I am from Ireland and will be working as a TEFL teacher in Japan. I know that Japanese immigration/schools can sort out a visa, but can I stay there permanently?

You could probably apply for a permanent visa after a few years of living there, but don t know how likely it is. This is the same in most countries. You can t apply to be a permanent resident unless you ve lived there for a while, in most places.

In order to obtain a permanent visa in Japan you have to have a continuous visa (with no interruptions in it) for a period of ten years before you are eligible to apply.

no it not
