How Much It Cost To Move To Japan (Flight Tickets, Initial Apartment Fees...)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- My ALT dispatch company told us that we would need $5000 in our bank account before moving to Japan so that we would have enough money for the initial apartment fees, food, transport etc. Thousands of dollars did end up disappearing from my bank within the first 2 months of my stay and I'm sad to say that my bank balance still hasn't recovered 🥲
Here are the biggest costs moving to Japan:
Flight Tickets $500
Initial Apartment Fees $1400
Food & Transportation $1000 (considering I had to take the bullet train to my placement location + transportation for Mar-Apr and food for Mar-Apr)
And then you add many more additional expenses (household appliances and necessities, utility bills etc.) and bam, your money is gone before you even receive your first pay check 💸

00:39 Health Check $65
00:43 Flight Tickets $500
01:23 Travel Insurance $150
01:29 SIM Card $55 + $45

Hey this is what I was looking for, I am moving to japan in march 2025 with interac.
Can you please make more videos about that like what happens when you land in Japan, the orientation, training and first day of the school and your first lesson plan introduction and such all the expenses and formalities.
This would be very helpful.
Thanks
Congrats on getting a position with Interac 🎉 I’m sure you’re excited to move here!
I’d love to make more videos on those topics! I am planning to do one talking about the first day I went to my schools, the first day I had classes with my students etc. and it should be up sometime this year 🌻
Thank you for the breakdown at least I have an idea of how much I am going to be spending, the Nigerian naira has depreciated so much 😢😢😢
I hope the video was helpful! The Japanese yen is also going down 🥲 It’s good if I’m changing money to yen, but horrible if I want to change it to Singapore dollars 😭
This was very helpful,thank you sooo much. I was wondering if you could please do a video on tips you might have for registering at the city hall and or opening a bank account etc when you first arrive in Japan for those who can’t speak Japanese. Thanks for the video once again, have a great day 💫
Hi ☺️ When I first got here, someone from my company came down with me to the city hall to register my residence card as well as to the post office to open a bank account, so I relied on them to talk to the staff 😅 But if you’re moving to a big city, the staff at the city hall should be able to speak simple English! Sorry I couldn’t be of more help 🙇🏻♀️
@@LisaLostInJapan Aww okay, no problem. Thanks for replying ❣️❣️
