For friends who are not in Japan but in China, please see the following .
In order to obtain a work visa to come to Japan, in principle, you must first apply to the Japanese administration for a certificate of qualification of residence . After obtaining this certificate, send it to the country, and then use this certificate to apply for a visa at the Japanese consulate. As an exception, if you come to Japan with a short-term business visa and apply for this certificate of residence qualification during your stay, you can apply for a short-term visa to be converted into a employment visa. Normally, a short-term visa cannot be converted into a work visa, but in fact, if you obtain a certificate of residence qualification for work, you can get an exception. Based on the above, the basic procedures for obtaining a work visa to come to Japan are to first sign an employment contract with a Japanese company or start a personal business, obtain a certificate of residence qualification, and then go to the Japanese consulate in China to apply for a visa. In addition, those who come to Japan with a short-term business visa can apply for a certificate of residence qualification during their stay, and then apply for employment status. The latter special method is relatively easy to enter the country, but it is limited to those who have obtained a short-term visa. At the same time, it is recommended that when looking for a job, look for a company that has complete insurance procedures after joining. (Similar to the five insurances and one housing fund of Chinese companies)
