Foreign nationals residing in Japan for a medium to long term must have a status of residence, and their activities must be conducted within the scope of their status of residence.
Below is an example of an inquiry.
I am changing jobs. What procedures do I need to follow?
Can I ask for that?
If you are in the same occupation, you will need to report to the immigration office. You can prepare this by yourself. However, when you renew your status of residence for the next time, you will need to submit many documents to be prepared by your company. Also, if you change jobs to a different occupation, you will need to submit an "Application for Permission to Change Status of Residence" to the Immigration Bureau, which will also require accompanying documents. Of course, we can assist you in preparing and submitting both if you request us to do so.
I am an international student, but I am graduating without a job.
Can I stay here?
Unfortunately, you cannot stay in Japan with the status of "foreign student". You will need to change your status of residence to "Designated Activities", which allows you to continue to engage in employment activities for 6 months, and also allows you to renew your status for another 6 months.
I would like to invite my wife and daughter, married in my home country, to Japan.
Those with the status of "Technical/Humanities/International Services," "Research," "Education," "Intra-company Transfer," "Highly Specialized Worker," "Nursing Care," or "Specially Designated Skill II" may invite their family members. Please consult with us!
I am an international student and would like to live in Japan with my family who are married in my home country.
There are cases in which you may be able to call on family members even with "foreign student" status. In particular, foreign students who have received an offer of employment may be able to prove that they can support their family members by submitting an employment contract or other documents. Please consult with us!
I'm thinking of hiring a foreigner, but I have no idea what to do...
