Osaka - Post Report Question and Answers

What types of jobs do most expatriate spouses/partners have? Locally based or telecommuting? Full-time or part-time? Can you comment on local salary scales?

Interesting question. One Eligible Family Member (EFM) works as a drum instructor. Another gives piano and other instrument lessons. Two work at the Consulate. All are part-time. - May 2021


There are three positions at the consulate. See the FAMER for details. - Jul 2018


It's difficult. - Oct 2013


If they don't speak Japanese, then the only jobs available are English teaching jobs. No EFM positions at the Consulate...yet. - Aug 2006
