Hi,

I'm moving to Japan in a couple of days and have no IT opportunities lined up other than English teaching. I have a working visa for any job or role (18 years IT experience) and wanted to know how easy it is (or how to?) to obtain a contract that is remotely working only. I'm not based in Tokyo so the jobs are limited with a lot of competition for non Japanese speaking roles.

Apologies if this is daft question, but I want to keep up my IT work somehow. I've got the knowledge and the experience in my fields.

Thanks, Matt.

I did some work with these guys a few years ago.
IT Consulting in Japan | Webnet IT
They're a Tokyo based IT company where all the staff speak English. Run by an English chap who's name escapes me.
Worth a shout I reckon.

Your best bet is probably to tap your network for opportunities.
