How can I live and work in Japan as a licensed nurse practitioner?
I am a licensed nurse practitioner in Vietnam. I was told that Japan has loosened its immigration rules to attract more skilled workers to Japan. I want to know how I can apply for a visa of Japan to work and live there. Also, do I need to get a nurse license issued in Japan to practice?
