Straight Answers Up Front

  • Most overseas jobs require the right to work in that country, which usually depends on an employer offer. We help you understand the routes.
  • Employers and immigration authorities make the hiring and visa decisions, so your preparation is what moves your application forward.
  • We are not an immigration law firm. We point you to official sources and qualified advisers for visa applications.
  • The first conversation is free, and you will know what is included and what it costs before you commit.

Official Sources

Always confirm visa and work-permit rules with the destination country’s government. Useful starting points:

For Europe and the Middle East, check the official immigration website of the specific country you are targeting.

FAQ

Common Questions

Who can use this service?

Job seekers who are based in Japan and want to work in the UK, Canada, the USA, Europe or the Middle East. That includes foreign residents who are moving on or returning home, and Japanese job seekers looking for roles overseas.

Which countries and regions do you cover?

The United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, Europe and the Middle East. Tell us your target country and role in a meeting and we will explain what we can do for that market.

How do you support my overseas job search?

We start with a meeting to understand your background, target country and role. We then help you prepare materials written for that market, such as a CV or résumé, LinkedIn profile and interview preparation, and guide you on where and how to apply. Employers and immigration authorities in the destination country make the final decisions, so we focus on making you a strong, well-prepared candidate.

Do you handle my visa or work permit?

We are not an immigration law firm. We help you understand the common routes to work authorization in your target country and what employers usually require, and we point you to official government sources and qualified immigration advisers for the application itself.

How much does it cost?

The first conversation is free. Fees depend on the support you choose, and we will explain what is included and what it costs before you commit.

Can I do this while working full-time in Japan?

Yes. Meetings are held on Zoom, or in person if you are in Japan, at times that suit you, and the rest of the work is done remotely, so you can keep your current job while you search.

Are you an employer or a recruitment agency?

GLOBAL ACCESS provides career representation and preparation: materials, strategy and interview preparation. Employers make their own hiring decisions, and we will tell you if a particular step needs a licensed recruiter or an immigration adviser.

How can I avoid overseas job scams?

Be cautious of anyone who asks for payment in exchange for a guaranteed overseas job or visa, asks you to pay an employer directly, or offers a job without an interview. Check the employer and the recruiter independently, and use official government websites for visa information.

How do I book a meeting to talk about working abroad from Japan?

Open the meeting request form, choose Zoom, or in person if you are currently in Japan, and tell us your preferred date, time and time zone. We will reply to confirm a time. Add a short note about what you want to discuss so we can prepare.
