Hello, I was a bit unsure exactly which board this thread would belong on so I posted on several that I feel fit to hopefully acquire good answers, I have the goal of leaving the U.S. and moving to Japan and after some research into the idea:
http://www.japanvisa.com/visas/japan-specialist-in-the-humanities-visa
A more 'direct' source:
https://nihongoshark.com/move-to-japan/
I have summarized what educational process I believe to be sufficient in gaining the work Visa and ultimately permanent citizenship in a small amount of time.
Community College with Pell Grant:
>Associate Arts
>International Study Certificate
Total of 2 years or less depending on how hard I push myself, now from what I gather I will need from a University (Required for Visa see first link) would be:
>Bachelor of Arts in Communication
>Specialization in Japanese
>Possible specialization in English? (For the certification.)
This would also consume two more years of my life, now my question to you anons specifically those who have went a similar route through the communication degrees and are living in Japan, will this suffice?

First, no one in Japan is going to care that you earned an Associates on a Pell Grant, so consider leaving that out of the CV.
A Bachelor's from a regionally-accredited college (no University of Phoenix jewry), at minimum, is required to teach in Japan. The easiest route to take would be to go teach, familiarize yourself with the culture, learn the language through immersion (the best way to do it, imo) and apply to various companies while still there.
Everything is also about networking, so don't forget to consider that.

The Associates was recommended for the University, specifically what should I pursue in order to get a five year visa to teach and become a resident? I must know everything..

Ideally, you'll just want a degree. Like I said, the minimum is a Bachelor's. A lot of places will hire you without experience teaching English as a second language (TESOL) or a certificate of TESOL qualification, but those places are typically low-paying and just make you the token white guy (not bad if you're just looking to be bored). You can find places to get the TESOL certificate inexpensively, but some schools offer job placement assistance, so shop around.
Residency, on the other hand, takes time. Are you talking about renouncing your American citizenship for Japanese citizenship or just making Japan your long-term home?

I want to leave the U.S. and acquire a Japanese Citizenship however I had read that in order to gain one you HAVE to renounce your U.S. citizenship, which as much as I would like to start somewhere new the idea of not being allowed in my homeland is painful, unless there is a dual citizenship option.

>a dual citizenship option
Not likely, compadre, but long-term stays are feasible if you play by the rules and get your papers submitted early!

>>1225554
acquiring japanese citizenship is going to take a decade or two so it's a tad too early to be thinking about that

No, a work visa can keep me in Japan in five years which is the current minimal requirement to apply for permanent citizenship, in a couple years perhaps less it will be three years.
