PA Q+A

Have you got a burning question? Can’t find the answer on the website or internet? Think other people could benefit from your question being answered?

Then send Saga’s Prefectural Advisors an anonymous question by submitting it below, and the PAs will answer it and post it (where appropriate) on the SagaJET website. Please note that the PAs may be able to better assist you if you e-mail them directly, as they can follow up with you personally.
(**PA contact information is for use by incoming, current, and former Saga JETs only. Contact from unaffiliated bodies will be deleted.)

However, if you would like to be anonymous, the box below will protect your privacy. General questions are also welcome!

Leavers

  • Question: I know that my BOE is obligated to pay for my flight home if I leave Japan after my contract expires. But, as far as I can tell, they are NOT obligated to do so if I sign a contract with another Japanese employer and stay in the country. Is this correct?  Read the answer here.
  • Question: Why can’t we fly out of Tokyo home, when as a JET we all technically flew into Tokyo? Read the answer here.
