Hello I studied Information Engineering at a college for 4 years and have a college degree now. Since I'm fluent in japanese I decided to start looking for a job in Japan, but then I read that in order to get a work visa you need to have a bachelor/university degree. I'm really confused, can I still get the visa? even if I went to college and not a university? is it the same? help.

College and university are usually different names for the same thing. Is your degree a Bachelor's degree?

I'm not really sure. Where I live it's actually called a "professional degree."

You need company sponsorship to get work visa irrespective of whether you have bachelor degree or not. If you are out of Japan, its difficult. Where are you now?

A quick Google suggests a professional degree is comparable to a bachelor's (depending on the particular degree, sometimes even masters!). The more pressing thing for the work visa, as someone else has already pointed out, is being sponsored by a company - i.e. having a job offer from within Japan. You don't apply for the work visa and then go job hunting - you get offered a job and the company sponsors your visa.

As a Chilean, get a working holiday visa and try to get a job that will allow you to get a work visa.
