2. Do I have to join a tour group to travel to Japan

? Yes, as long as you are willing to bear the losses caused. First of all, the travel agency will not let you control your passport alone abroad, making you a person (stowaway) without any identity. The first way for any country to treat stowaways is to send them to refugee camps, and so on. Make sure everything is clear before deciding whether to expel him or go to prison.

furthermore, the deposit you paid at home is non-refundable. In short, you don't have to hide. So, what responsibility does the travel society bear? In fact, the travel agency has charged your escape fee, and they will pay it directly to the tourism management department to solve the problem.

3. You can go to Japan alone with a tour group.

How can I get the qualification? Students studying abroad are not allowed to work on a study visa. If they want to work, they need to apply for a license for extra-qualification activities. This matter can be handled at the airport, or they can apply to the immigration office through the school after they arrive in Japan. If you apply through a school, the application procedures of each school are different. Just apply according to the rules. When renewing the residence permit, this qualification activity permit can be renewed at the same time. According to the regulations of the Immigration Bureau, students of ordinary language schools can apply for a license for activities outside their qualifications free of charge within three months after they arrive in Japan, and international students (universities, specialized schools, pre-university courses, etc. ) you can apply. Generally, the required materials are: application for permission for activities beyond qualification (collected at the immigration window), passport, foreigner's S landing card (stay card) and student ID card. What are the restrictions on work? Time limit: (1) Undergraduate and general graduate students: within 28 hours per week. The long vacation period stipulated in the winter and summer vacations is: within 8 hours in a day; (2) Auditorium students and lecture students: within 14 hours a week. In summer vacation, winter vacation and other schools, the long vacation period is: eight hours a day; (2) Secondary school students and employed students are limited to four hours a day; (1) No customized business (Snaku, coffee shop, bar, vault, mahjong room, casino with lighting below 1 degrees) is allowed; (2) They are not allowed to shop in couples' hotels and video shops for adult products. (3) You can not customize special services (pornographic appearance, spreading and selling adult videos) in shops. (4) You can not customize special services in image delivery (these shops refer to clubs that spread pornographic pictures online). (5) You can not customize special services in shops with telephone matchmaking services (these shops refer to pornographic telephone clubs) These rules are written in black and white, so students must pay attention. Japan's punishment for illegal employment is also very serious, and it will be fined or assisted by illegal workers. Once migrant workers are found, they will not renew their contracts or be directly repatriated. What can international students do in Japan? There are many kinds of jobs suitable for international students, but the most popular ones are convenience stores, izakaya, various restaurants (especially Chinese restaurants), Chinese classrooms and hot spring hotels. You can choose according to your own needs. Different jobs require different language skills, so students should choose carefully according to their own abilities. Of course, students who are proficient in Japanese can also choose to be Chinese teachers in private schools or Chinese classrooms. Convenience store: The work of convenience stores is generally the least workload, mainly cashier, which can be replenished occasionally, because the store area is generally small and the replenishment is fast. However, because of the relatively low workload, the hourly wage of convenience stores is generally at a low level. Unless you are in a shop with a constant stream of customers on a busy road, it is recommended that international students who need to focus most of their energy on their studies choose. Generally, the hourly wage in izakaya is relatively high, and the food treatment is also very good. Another advantage of izakaya is that it can get close contact with pure Japanese food culture. In the bar, you can not only see a wide variety of Japanese wines, but also learn about the preparation methods of various cocktails that young people like. But compared with ordinary shops, izakaya has more requirements in all aspects. It is suggested that foreign students with good oral English and light study tasks can experience it. There is also a fast food restaurant. Foreign fast food restaurants are the most common jobs for international students. The staff of Japanese fast food restaurants are almost all Japanese high school students and international students, so there is not much room for multilingual communication.

Tutors (Chinese teachers) earn a lot of money in tutoring or teaching Chinese in Japan, but this job is also very demanding. In addition to Japanese, they must also have certain Chinese expression ability. After all, they are teachers. If they can, if they can't do the Chinese-Japanese conversion well in the teaching process, it will be difficult for students to understand. This job is a good choice if you have no problem with Japanese. It is relatively easy and the income is high. At the same time, one's ability can be well exercised. If you are busy with your studies, you'd better choose to be a temporary trade union. There are many temporary jobs in Japan, such as moving companies, concert temporary staff, wedding venue service personnel and so on. These part-time jobs are irregular and can be chosen according to their free time, and they are all settled on the same day. But the income of temporary workers is difficult to be fixed, because it is not every month. You should always check the updates of Japanese job websites. The date and time of settlement can be freely selected. Ways to find a job (1) Look through advertisements in newspapers and recruitment information magazines. There are all kinds of free recruitment magazines in magazine rack with public facilities such as subway stations and 24-hour convenience stores. The most common ones are domo and townwork, which publish a lot of job information and can be started for free at any time. (Due to the large number of applicants, you must contact as soon as possible on the day of information release). (2) Through the introduction of student classes and welfare classes in your school. (3) Introduced by public authorities (internal and external student centers, public vocational stability centers, etc.). ). (4) Through the recommendation of the school and the introduction of seniors, acquaintances and friends, the success rate is the highest and the speed is the fastest. (5) Pay attention to the advertisements and billboards on the road, and write down the store name and telephone number. Wages and taxes for working in Japan are different in different regions. Generally speaking, the higher the standard of living, the higher the salary of work. As long as students can arrange their time reasonably, they can earn considerable income, and many international students earn enough tuition by taking part-time jobs. Japan and the US Department of Labor have a minimum wage for every region. According to statistics, the highest wages in Tokyo, Kanagawa and Osaka are 85 yen, 849 yen and 8 yen respectively. If you work in Tokyo, if you work 28 hours a week, then your weekly salary is 28 hours *85 yen/hour = 23,8 yen, which is equivalent to about 1,5 yuan, so you have 6, yuan a month. Besides, there are many public holidays in Japan. On average, you can earn about 8 yuan a month by working. For international students, this money is enough to maintain the living expenses for one month. In addition to wages, many places in Japan provide working meals, and some have additional expenses such as transportation subsidies. How to pay taxes on part-time wages? Taxes in Japan and the United States are divided into national tax and local tax, some of which are paid by employers and some are borne by themselves. Part-time employees should pay attention to the fact that they should go to the local tax bureau under the jurisdiction of their residence to confirm the declaration from February 16 to March 15 every year. In Japan, some good universities or visa types exempt international students from some taxes. Finally, warm reminder: in Japan, no matter where you work, you should remember to carry your card with you to avoid being checked. In addition, once you are found to work overtime, you will be found to be working illegally, and in serious cases, you will be refused a study visa! The main purpose of international students is to study, so I hope you can arrange your time reasonably.

4. Travel freely in Japan or travel with a group

Japanese individual visa. You can certainly find a local travel agency in Japan.

The reason for this is that most Japanese people travel in groups, that is, travel agencies have been arranged before leaving the country, so the expenses are relatively low, but more shopping is arranged.

But after you buy your own air ticket and arrive in Japan, if your hotel is not in a densely populated area of China, the advertisements in the hotel are mostly Japanese travel itinerary advertisements, and the travel agencies on the street are mostly Japanese-run travel agencies, so it is difficult to find short-distance travel itineraries such as one-day tour and two-day tour in Chinese in a short time.

If you are not short of money, it is recommended to go to online platforms, such as Ctrip and Tuniu, to make an appointment for Chinese services in the future.

as far as I know, it will be very expensive for individual travelers to join Chinese-speaking groups in Japan, and most Chinese-speaking travel agencies are busy receiving domestic tour groups.

not recommended for the time being.

5. Going to Japan by yourself or with a group

should be ok. Although the epidemic situation is still very serious, there should be no problem as long as the vaccine is well prepared and the protection is strengthened.

if it is the first time to Japan, it is recommended to travel with a group. The first time I went, I mainly enjoyed the scenery and learned about Japanese culture. Group tours are rich in attractions, cheap and cost-effective, and the cost of free travel is high. The transportation and accommodation in Japan are very high, so I decided to travel with a group for the first time.

6. Are there any tours to Japan

Different types of visas take different time, generally ranging from 3 to 3 days. If you are applying for studying abroad, how long does it take to get a visa? It may be about half a year.

1. Apply for a visa to study in Japan

1. After obtaining the residence qualification, apply for a visa to embassies and consulates in China, Japan through an agency.

2. The visa review period of Beijing Embassy is generally four days, which can be extended under special circumstances. In other words, if you apply at the Beijing embassy, you can get it in about a week.

3. The examination cycle of consulates around the country is ten days or even longer than that of ambassador curators and Shenyang. Other places also have more than seven days. If there is a holiday in the middle, the time will be longer.

4. If there is a Japanese school that has started school, but the visa has not yet come down. Embassies and consulates in China won the prize. Don't speed up the progress just because your school has started or not.

5. how long does it take from applying for studying abroad to getting a visa? So it's hard to say, about six months. Check the residence qualification first, then check the visa.

Second, other visas:

1. Apply for a work visa in Japan.

if you are traveling on business, there are two kinds of business visas in Japan. The first is single entry in March, and the other is multiple entry in one year. Generally speaking, the processing time of both business visas is within four to six working days.

2. Apply for a visa to visit friends in Japan

If you want to visit relatives and friends in Japan, you need to apply for a visa to visit relatives and friends in Japan. The issuance time of this visa is basically the same as that of a business visa, and it takes four to six working days.

3. Apply for a Japanese individual tourist visa.

if an individual travels to Japan, the time required for an individual tourist visa in Japan is generally five to seven working days, except Saturday, Sunday and legal holidays. This visa is valid for three months, during which you can only enter the country once.

4. Apply for a Japanese group tourist visa.

However, for group travel visas to Japan, the visa time is slightly longer than the personal time, and the processing time is mostly within seven to ten working days.

5. Apply for an expedited visa to Japan.

if you want to apply for an expedited visa, you need to pay an additional expedited fee, which generally depends on the visa type and the number of expedited days.

I hope I can help you!
