Oh, that is a great question With many people wanting to come and live or work in Japan, one of the most common and challenging roadblocks that need s to be addressed is how to get a visa. There is no one-size-fits-all with visas in Japan They are often considered case-by-case with a variety of factors being considered and since information on Japanese visas sometimes changes. I wanted to bring in a professional Visa lawyer to help us with this topic. Today we're going to avoid the obvious visas like the working holiday which doesn't apply to every country or visas that would apply to the spouse or child of a Japanese national and try to focus on some of the main visas that will allow you to live and work in Japan So without further ado, today I am sitting down with Miwa Kanesaki who works as an immigration lawyer here in Japan and has agreed to share Some of her expertise with us. Thank you very much for inviting me to this video session Norm san, arigato gozaimasu Arigato gozaimasu Before I dive into a specifics of work visas in Japan By way of short introduction, I have been a "Gyoseishoshi" for many years Okay That means that I'm a licensed legal professional that handles among other things immigration matters Before starting I would like to make a few general comments on Japan visa system First, there is a high degree of discretion involved This makes it difficult to keep definite answers about things like the length of visa Second, as Norm san mentioned rules and regulations change sometimes This is one of the reasons I recommend having consultation with immigration lawyers to have updated information and advice Thank you very much for your introduction for everybody watching For everybody watching, I just want to state right at the beginning that this video is not sponsored Miwa san has actually been kind enough to volunteer her time to share this with us today And for the most accurate legal answers, she's scripted her responses so she doesn't say anything that's a bit of a no-no that you might peek at her reading every now and then that is totally fine Miwa san Thank you very much for this I'd like to jump right into the visa talk And ask about some of the basic visa types for working in Japan right, first there is a category of employment visas This visa is for a person who will be employed in Japan There are different types of visas with different requirements based on the type of work that the visa holder will do. Okay A common type is called the engineers specialist in the humanities international services visa basically, this type of visa is for someone who has a certain level of educational background or someone with some other kind of professional background or experience okay And for the requirements, in addition to proof of academic and job carrier, Other requirements include an employment contract and financial papers a company information including financial papers and and a statement, why the company needs to hire the applicants? Okay And the second category is the student visas Okay With this visa, a foreign student can work up to 28 hours a week after permission by the immigration bureau Gotcha Okay The basic requirements are proof of acceptance at a school Proof of financial support Mhm Usually at the university or school does the visa application process Okay So, with these student visas and the employment visas that you just talked about Usually, these require some kind of sponsor then right? like the school of the company? Right, yes exactly Okay So a question that I've gotten a few times, Is it possible to self sponsor a visa well, actually no, except for business manager visa Okay, so the business manager visa is the one that we were talking about before It actually sounds pretty interesting. Would you be able to share a bit about what the business manager visa is? Yes, actually business manager visa is fairly common a Business manager visa is for a person who wants to set up a business in Japan Mhm The requirements include the business plan and office lease and a capital investment of five million yen Okay The required supporting documents vary depending on the type of business Okay So I guess another good question would be restrictions on visas Like I know, for example, a lot of most visas don't allow a non-Japanese national to vote What other technical restrictions are on visas? Right, yes I think the most obvious restriction is that people with an employment visa have to notify the Immigration Bureau If they change jobs Okay And the new jobs have to be in the same category Covered by the employment visa In other words, within the scope of the visa Okay Also, you're not allowed to work for any employer or company other than the one that sponsored your visa Or do a part-time job unless it is permitted by the Immigration Bureau Okay And as for the student visa, there is no need to notify the Immigration Bureau, if they change jobs okay However, people with a student visa should not work in places like nightclubs, and pachinko parlours and other places with the legal term known as the amusement business Gotcha Okay Also, I should mention that like Japanese, foreign nationals on any of these visas have to obey the laws Yeah After pay income taxes, resident taxes and they have to enrol in and make payments for national health insurance and the national pension systems. Okay As for voting, except for very limited exceptions, now foreign nationals cannot vote in Japan regardless of their visa status. Okay And for extension of work visas I should say you need to stay more than half a year and You shouldn't leave for more than three months at the time Okay However, This is not a hard and fast rule And the certain reasons for a long leave might be taken into consideration Mm-hmm So, in that case, are some working visas better than others? All right That's an interesting question Whether what visa is better than another really depends on the goal or the purpose of the person applying for the visa Okay For example business manager visa allows the holder to do various type of business On the other hand the person with an employment visa has to work in the same area of the work category of which the visa is based Mhm I should mention that one advantage of business manager visa is that the holder of the visa Only has to stay in Japan for several months each year Okay So a really really common question I think what big questions for anybody watching a video like this is is it possible to work in Japan Without a university degree That is a great question This, it depends on the type of work and type of visa Okay So in general, University degree will help for getting an employment visa called called “engineer/specialist in humanities/international specialist” visa, but sometimes a college degree and and 10 year's working experience Or a 3 years' working experience in international business will help, too. Okay The important point is Whether what you studied and how you worked match the kind of work you will do in Japan Mmm, okay For a business manager visa, Academic carrier will help but degree is not required Gotcha, okay So now since I've brought you in here and you have all of this experience I wanted to ask kind of a question that I think hopefully, Would give you the opportunity to share some of your background and expertise What would you say personally are the big benefits of hiring? Someone like yourself, like an immigration lawyer specialists, etc This is my favourite question Since the immigration bureau has a lot of discretion and since the documentation and language can be difficult, It is a great idea to have an immigration lawyer we make sure your visa application meets all the legal requirements and make the entire process go smoothly For example, I make sure there is no miscommunication Among the various people involved such as guarantors Employers and business partners and have all the people involved understand the process and documents basically, I think using an immigration lawyer Is a kind of investment or a kind of insurance We try hard to maximize the good points To persuade immigration Bureau minimize or explain any unclear points Excellent. Well, thank you so much for your time today. I really appreciate it. Thank you very much for having me We will talk again soon. I have wanted to make a video on Japanese visas for some time But with everything being what it is I wasn't willing to do so without the voice of a proper professional So thank you so much to Miwa san for joining us today Obviously not all of the finer details about the Japanese visa system are gonna be found in a single YouTube video But we've done what we can to give a broad strokes base of information that should hopefully serve as a starting point if you're researching Visas to live and work here in Japan I usually say if you have any questions to feel free to leave them in the comments below But I don't have answers to your visa questions So don't ask me Visa questions, but do leave me something in the comments I'm really glad that we were able to do this today I hope the rest of your day is beautiful. And you know, I will see you again real soon
