I have lived abroad for about 5 of the past 8 or 9 years. I have lived in Japan as a worker, a student, and now a spouse (and also in Taiwan as a student too).


People often ask me how I moved overseas, so today I want to talk about this topic. I’ll discuss the state of migration, some of the common visa types or methods of moving overseas, and a few steps you need to take to move abroad.


At the same time, I will share my own immigration experiences!
