There's No Such Thing As "Self-Sponsoring" Your Visa in Japan | with Simon

This is the first in a 3 part series of podcasts with Simon Moran, the owner of Modern English. He’s been in Japan for a while and on this episode we’re going to talk about the myths and misinformation about self-sponsoring your visa. Don’t get mislead by people in Facebook groups or Reddit forums who might get you in trouble with your visa renewal. I hope you learn a lot from this conversation, and come back in the future when we’ll be talking about if its possible to make a good living as a long-term teacher in Japan, and why you shouldn’t start a school.

What’s interesting is that these teaching salaries haven’t really changed since the 80’s then. I taught in Japan 12 years ago and I made about the same amount of money as a school just offered me this week. That’s insane. But I need the visa so it’s ok for now. But i do hope it changes for future teachers. Thanks for talking about the self-sponsorship concept.
