How much money does an English teacher make in Japan?
I've been debating possible job opportunities for the future, and since I'm planning on moving to Japan I was wondering how much an English teacher makes annually? In a typical Japanese high school?

With a TEFL or TESL certificate you could get about 230,000 or 250,000 Yen a month which is about 2,800 American dollars, Japan is an expensive place to live but if you don't over spend, this salary will be enough for you, and you can also save some of it.

How much money can you make teaching English in Japan?
How much money can you make teaching English in Japan?
not as a teacher but as a tutor for college students in Japan. I heard you don't have to be a good teacher you just have to be good in conversations with Japanese College students. I was unaware of the fees you can earn but it would be enough to pay for your college tuition in Japan. I am a male native english speaker with partial Japanese descent minoring in Japanese Language which is plus points but how much can I make?

I think you heard wrong. No way can you make enough money teaching English to cover college tuition costs ! Students can only work part time. Regular English teachers average 250,000 yen a month.
2 :
Carl, you are misinformed... With a student visa, you can only work 28 hours a week. The visa will not allow you to work your first two months, so I tutor highschool students under the radar. I'm currently enrolled in a Japanese language school in Akihabara, I'm living in an apartment with 3 other people, and my rent is about 500$ a month. With my tutoring job, I pull in about 300yen/hr. Now I'm also working in a butler cafe, which pays really well. I just gotta make the customers feel like a princess. So you can definitely make enough to support yourself, and go to a university, as long as its not 早稲田. Oh, and I'm only 17, so If I can do it, you can do it.

some friends went to japan and was paid $5000 a month, but spent many hours teaching. he didn't tell me exactly what was discounted.

So, Bren, you pull in 300 yen/hr. Hope that was a typo or I don't know how you are getting by. Carl was spot-on with the law. Under the radar? That can work. Take Bren's figure of 300 yen/hr and see how many hours you would have to work to pay about $20K/year for college and see if you have enough time to attend classes and study too. Up it to 3000 yen/hr, take a guess at how many student you can get and do the same calculations. And speaking Japanese isn't really that much of a plus point if you want to teach English. If you want to teach English you shouldn't be speaking Japanese in class.
6 :
First of all, there are many English native speakers who want to teach English in Japan. You have to be a VERY exellent teacher if you want to earn a lot of money by doing that. AND you need to know how to teach English. Speaking English and teaching it are two different things. No offense,but you seem to play down the problem. Japan is not native Enlish speakers' heaven.

I dont know how much people make, but 25000 yen (japanese money) is pretty much the same as 250 USD. 100 yen is equal to about $1 CAD or USD but the rates change and i think it's somewhere in the 80s now :P so maybe 80 yen per dollar
2 :
The average monthly net income for a single individual is 180,000 Yen or $2,243. It is hard to live in Tokyo with that amount,though.

To get a visa allowing you to work, you would need an employer to sponsor your visa application. You seem very desperate to go to Japan, Paige. Why not go for a long holiday first to see if you like it. If you really want to emigrate you have to at least have a degree. Look at the Ministry of Foreign affairs website. As you can see the visa criteria is very strict. http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/
2 :
You need a "real" job in Japan.
3 :
You need a Japanese company to sponsor you if you want to live in Japan. Either that or you need to be married to a Japanese person. Have you ever been to Japan? I suggest you take a tourist trip there first for the full 90 days to see if it's the place for you. Many people are misinformed thinking people speak English in Japan but they don't. They also think Japan is like it is in anime and manga, which also couldn't be further from the truth in most cases.
4 :
I don't think you can get a working visa of Japan by making money online. If you have another visa, it's possible to live in Japan.
5 :
Not unless you're married to a Japanese citizen. I know an American who lives in a rural part of Japan and works for an American company online. He is, however, married to a Japanese woman he met while he was working here as an English teacher.
6 :
No, it is NOT possible. Now, run along.
7 :
Input your answer here. Hi paige, A new idea-see if it suits.
8 :
No. You are making good money where you are living, but that does not translate to the same thing if you were living in Japan. Before you can live as a permanent resident in Japan, you have to prove that: 1) You can function in Japanese society; i.e. speak the language 2) You will not be a drain on the welfare program; i.e. educated with a college degree and have a job. 3) You have no criminal record.

Can I make money in Japan?
Can I make money in Japan?
I'm currently in Tokyo, Japan studying at my college's sister school. I was wondering if it was possible for me to make money on the side legally while I'm in Japan. I'll be here for a little over three months on my student visa. Thanks! I have money to live but I'd like a little bit of spending money, is there a way for me to make between five and ten thousand yen? I just don't want to violate any visa laws, I know I'm not allowed to have a job without the work visa. And I only speak a little bit of Japanese.

14 :
You're probably not Black so the answer is yes.
15 :
I believe that you can legally work for 20 hours a week on a student visa (unless that's changed since I had one). If your Japanese isn't so good you might find it difficult to get a part-time job, but then, if you can get one, your Japanese will improve :D If you have the time, you could always tutor some people privately in English. Try a website like http://www.findateacher.net/
16 :
You can get a work permit. http://www.moj.go.jp/ONLINE/IMMIGRATION/16-8.html The official name of the permit is "permission to engage in activity other than that permitted under the status of residency previously granted." You need a valid student visa and alien registration card for the application. Good luck competing with the high school kids to flip burgers at McDonald's.

Say what? "my college's sister school"? what the heck is that??!?!?! i dont think you can make money if you dont speak japanese. maybe you can sit on the side walks and get a cup and wait for people to drop money.. have a sign too like "okane ga arimasen, anata ni okane wo kureru koto ga dekimasu, kudasai ne" "i dont have money, can you please give me money?"

Go to the regional immigration office to apply your temporary work with detailed contract. You will be approved if all documents are well prepared enough to get part-time job. Without the permission, your side business will be illegal.

Could I get enough money in Japan if I were an architect? And if not what job could I do to make enough money?
If I were to be a foreign exchange student to Japan from the United States, would I be able to obtain enough money in that line of work to live comfortably? (decent apartment, enough food, water, and maybe some other luxuries like internet and phone.)

a study visa has some pretty strict restrictions to what kind of work/how much work you can do.
2 :
Please understand that foreign exchange student is not someone who can earn money. If you want to earn, you have to graduate from school and find a job. It's not realistic to think that you can be an architect in Japan. It's difficult even for Japanese to become an architect. You must pass architect exam which is very hard. But if you become, you can earn enough. If you just want to have (decent apartment, enough food, water, and maybe some other luxuries like internet and phone.), it's enough even if you are working as English teacher. What's really expensive in Japan is education of children. So if you want to marry and have children in Japan, you must have better jobs.
