1. What are the requirements for Japanese working immigrants?

According to the immigration law, foreign workers must hold appropriate visas and work permits in Japan. Workers entering Japan usually enter through a high-skilled visa or a point-based work visa for a specific industry category. These categories include areas such as "business manager" or "internal transfer". Employees must obtain work permits and be guaranteed by local licensed and registered entities, which may be a problem for companies that have just entered the Japanese market. If you haven't completed the registration process, you can use an outsourcing management company or GEO to record the necessary rights of employers to employees. Companies that set up subsidiaries or branches in Japan can apply for visas. The whole process of applying for a work visa may take more than three months, and it may require a lot of technical and industry-specific documents. It is strongly recommended to hire Japanese immigration experts to assist in the application and processing. The process of obtaining a work visa in Japan is as follows: most people who want to obtain a work permit need to obtain a qualification certificate first. The document, issued by the Japanese Ministry of Justice, requires Japanese guarantors (such as employers) to apply for certificates from local immigration offices on behalf of employees. The certificate is free and may take 3 months to be issued. The certificate is valid for 3 months from the date of issuance.

As soon as the qualification certificate comes out, you can apply for a visa. The most common work permit is a visa issued according to a specific industry. These categories have similar application forms, but different documents are required. If all the required documents are complete, the visa application will take 5 working days to process.

General required documents: passport, application form, photos (4cm×3cm) taken not more than 3 months before application, supporting documents required for specific visa types (see below), and qualification certificate.

For example, an employee applying for a work visa for an enterprise manager needs to provide the following documents:
