Studying at a Japanese university or language school is another pathway to live and potentially work in Japan. Benefits include:

• Immerse yourself in Japanese culture and society
• Gain proficiency in Japanese languag
• Possibility to work part-time while studying
• Can apply for work visa in Japan after graduating

However, studying in Japan can be expensive when factoring in tuition, living costs, and no paid accommodation like the TITP provides. Working part-time may also distract from studies.

Which Path is Right for You?

We highly recommend considering the TITP if you want to gain practical work skills, earn an attractive salary, and experience life in Japan for up to 5 years. It’s an especially good fit if you don’t have a university degree. The TITP provides a unique opportunity to learn from Japan’s advanced industries, immerse yourself in the culture, and build valuable career experience with Japanese companies. With paid accommodation and an attractive salary, the TITP allows you to save money while developing new skills. After completing the TITP, you also have the option to transition to the SSW visa to extend your stay and work in Japan.

The SSW may be better if you have specialized skills, want to work in Japan longer-term, and potentially bring family. However, it has stricter requirements than the TITP.

Studying in Japan is ideal if your main goals are learning Japanese fluently and getting a Japanese university education, with the potential to work in Japan after graduating. However, the costs can be quite high compared to the TITP.

Ultimately, the best path depends on your skills, goals, family situation, and finances. If your priority is gaining practical work experience, cultural immersion, and attractive earning/saving potential, we believe the TITP is the optimal choice.
