Japan's Jet Program - Married Couples?

First of all, being "qualified" for JET is a VERY fluid concept. Japanese language ability is not required (although it is prefered, over 80% of first time JETs speak no Japanese at all when they first come to Japan). Also you don't need any special English training beyond being a native speaker. Teaching/tutoring/coaching experience is prefered, but not required and no formal teaching credentials are necessary. International experience is prefered but not required. So taken all together, if you have a bachelor's degree of any kind and any amount of any of the above qualifications in any small way you might be 'qualified' for JET. If you are the least bit interested, I encourage you to apply and see how you do.

If you still decide just to go as a dependent (and in spite of what one respondant said even people on dependent visas can now work a maximum of 25 hours a week), that is totally fine and will not affect your husband's chances of getting in one way or the other. They encourage non-JET spouses to fly seperately after the JET has arrived and finished their orientation, but if you insist they will see to your accomodations. My non-JET wife came to the Tokyo Orientation with me back in 1999. You will be responsible for your own expenses (plan ticket, hotel room, meals, bullet train ticket, etc. to your husband's host institution) but CLAIR and the Consulate General (or Embassy) from the city you depart from will handle all of your visa's etc.

My wife liked coming with me so much that she decided to come back as a JET in 2005 and we've been here ever since. I wish you luck and hope your husband is successful. It will be an unforgettable experience for both of you.

The JET program, as far as I know and remember, does not require you to be fluent, or near fluent, to be apart of it. I have been to school in Japan and had the opportunity to speak with many of the JET teachers that they employ and on most occasions, my high school Japanese was better.

As for married, I am not sure. I know that you can be request to both be at a certain location and marriage can possibly give them a reason for letting you do that, but I do not know the program's specific policies on that. I knew one couple who were dating while both in Japan and there were no problems with them, so I would assume that you would be fine.

The first thing you must know is if you want to save your marriage and if you find yourself alone in this desire, waiting for the other spouse to make the first move is the beginning of the end.

marriage is about deciding things together as a couple. what i hear or read is only about what you want. is it possible for your fiance to do his graduate work via online or via distance learning and go with you to japan? try to find a reasonable compromise where you both win in this matter.

If your husband was chosen as JET, he would get working visa. And if you are his wife, you can get dependent visa which will let you stay in Japan but you can't work here.
