Japan Work Visa

Foreigners wishing to take up a residence in Japan should obtain a "Status of Residence and Period of Stay." The status of residence and stay period is determined when a foreigner enters Japan with a proper work visa.

In Japan, there are specific categories for work visa, immigration “status of residence” (i.e., work visa status) under broader categories and specific categories such as Business Manager, Engineer, International Services, Intra-company Transferee, etc. of "Status of Residence."

Work or Long-term stay: Details as per the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).

Japanese Immigration - COE

Foreigners cannot engage in any activities that are not permitted under their “status of residence” (work visa/permit). When a foreigner (except temporary visitors status) wishes to engage in an activity not permitted under his or her status of residence or wants to extend the period of stay, he or she must obtain the necessary permission from the Immigration Bureau of Japan under the Ministry of Justice (MOJ).

To obtain a proper visa, necessary procedures must be completed in Japan / foreign (home) country. Except for Temporary Visitor (Tourist or short-term business visitors), Diplomat and Official status, it is recommended to obtain a "Certificate of Eligibility" (COE) from the Immigration authority in Japan.
