Applying for a Japan job from overseas
The employer sponsors. Hello Work is not a relocation desk. Not legal advice.
What to do
- The usual sponsored path is: offer, the employer files for a Certificate of Eligibility, you apply for a visa at the embassy, and you receive a residence card on arrival.
- Use boards that actually hire from abroad, and filter for visa support. In the directory: CareerCross, Daijob, GaijinPot Jobs, Jobs in Japan, TokyoDev, Japan Dev.
- JETRO Open for Professionals publishes roles aimed at hiring from abroad. Directory page: JETRO.
- Hello Work is a public counter once you are here. It is not a remote relocation service.
- Status names and the 14-day rule are on the jobs hub. Ved is not an immigration lawyer. Licensed help: Legal on myjin.jp.
