Find a Job That Matches Your Profile First
Some employers in Japan may support the procedures required for foreign workers to take up employment. However, employer support is not the starting point. The first step is finding a position that matches your skills, qualifications, experience and employment eligibility.
TORANOMON focuses on actual employer demand and candidate fit before considering the procedures that may follow.
Employer support does not guarantee employment, a Certificate of Eligibility, a visa or any residence-status approval.
What Does Visa Sponsorship Mean in a Job Search?
In recruitment, the term “visa sponsorship” is commonly used to describe employer support related to procedures required for a foreign worker to work legally in Japan.
The exact procedures depend on the position, the candidate’s background, current residence status or location, and the applicable status of residence.
Employment Documents
The employer may prepare or provide documents related to the employment relationship and job conditions.
Required Procedures
Depending on the case, procedures concerning the applicable status of residence may be required before employment begins.
Recruitment Coordination
Recruitment agencies and support organizations may coordinate relevant processes according to the employment route involved.
Employer Requirements Come First
A company does not hire a candidate simply because that candidate needs visa sponsorship. Employers first evaluate whether the candidate fits the actual job.
- Job duties and responsibilities
- Education and qualifications
- Professional skills and work experience
- Japanese-language requirements
- Work location and employment conditions
- Applicable employment and residence-status requirements
