You need a four year degree to get a work visa. You need to graduate from a Japanese school. And the chances of a non Japanese male being hired as a nurse are slim to none.

People in this forum will tell you repeatedly "you need a four-year degree" and "Japanese never hire foreigners to do anything except teach English." This is crap. Utter crap. My evidence? 900,000 ZAINICHI KOREANS IN JAPAN CAN'T ALL BE TEACHING ENGLISH! The four-year degree "requirement" is slightly more true, though there are a few ways you can work in Japan without it (like having many years of verifiable experience in the field). However, if you're going to become a nurse, I think you'll need a degree of some type (that's how it is in my country). I'd actually say that if you learn fluent Japanese, your chances of becoming a nurse are VERY good. You know why? Because Japan has a HUGE dependency ratio and a rapidly aging population. In some parts of Japan, 1/3 of the population is elderly, already! They're going to need more nurses than they currently have! The birth rate in Japan is so low, new nurses aren't being born at the rate necessary to sustain the elderly population. Even if Japan hates foreigners, they have no choice -- SOMEBODY has to do the nursing. I believe Japan is already importing nurses from the Philippines, so why not Malaysia? You should have a nursing credential in your home counry, preferably a nursing credential in Japan (attend Japanese uni if possible), and speak fluent Japanese (at least JLPT Level 1, preferably higher than the JLPT exams go). If you do those things, I think you have a reasonable shot. Some people on Yahoo! Answers (mostly English teachers) just can't think outside the eikaiwa box, which is sad for them. @alex_in What you say is true of a few Zainichi Koreans, but the vast majority immigrated to Japan AFTER 1945. It is a widely-held Korean nationalist misconception that most of the Zainichi Koreans today are descendants of "conscripted slave labor," but actually if you look at the statistics, they are only a small percentage of the Zainichi Koreans still there. Almost all the Zainichi Koreans I know are either first-generation or second-generation, not third or fourth. They found work in Japan that wasn't English teaching. Why can't the asker?

About ZAINICHI KOREANS.... In 1910, Japan colonized Korean Peninsula, and continued to do so until Japan was defeated in WW II. (Don't ask me or blame me on any political issues, nor start any political discussions. I am just reporting the sad historical fact.) Between these years, many Koreans moved to Japan or sometimes forced to move to Japan to work at weapons factories. After WW II, some of them didn't return to their homeland. They were given permanent residency to stay in Japan. The same goes to Taiwanese. Current Zainichi Koreans are these people and the descendants of these people. Some of children of Zainichi Korean may attend Korean schools in Japan which teach Korean language in addition to Japanese school carriculum, but many attended regular Japanese grade schools. Most attend Japanese universities if they ever advance to that level. So, the 2nd generation Zainichi Korean and younger are educated in Japanese school systems. They are legally the permanent residents of Japan when they are born. They are a kind of the victims of WW II war who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. As for the nursing position in Japan, you need to pass the national exam for nurse license. To pass that exam, it is most likely to be required to atten a Japanese nurse school. Currently, Japan has an agreement with Philippins to invite Filipino people, who passed her/his country's nurse exam, to Japan, study Japanese language while working as an assistant in a hospital, and study for the Japanese nurse exam. If he/she passes the exam, a visa is renewed for 3 years. There's no limit for the number of renewals of visa. So, theoretically, he/she can stay in Japan permanently. Currently, the Philippins is the only country which has such an agreement with Japan. Can you move to Philippins?

To become a nurse in Japan, you need to have a nurse license of Japan. To get its license, you need to go to 2-4 year nursing school and take a national exam, pass it. It's difficult because you need to start from elementary level Japanese. Another option is, as another says, Japan is inviting nurses from Philippines and Indonesia. So you may find a way to become one of those although you are in Malaysia.
