Work Visa from Djibouti to Japan
- This visa is issued to Djiboutians with intentions to find employment in Japan.
- The application for this visa requires the cooperation of the company that will be employing the applicant.
- Applicants are to fill a visa application form from the embassy and present a valid national passport.
- The company of employment serves as the sponsor for the applicant. Hence, the company is required to present a letter stating the applicant's intending position and expected salary.
- The company is also expected to ensure that the applicant is issued a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) as this is a vital part of the application process.
- The COE is issued by the immigration bureau under the jurisdiction of the Japan Ministry of justice. A photocopy of the certificate is to be submitted along with the original.
- Work visas are normally issued to be valid for a period of 1-3 years.
- Applicants are required to take their letter of employment and work contract to the embassy for application.
- For work applicants, a CV containing proof of previous work experience should be submitted along with the contract letter.
- Applicants are to also get a residence and work permit.
- A Specified Skills visa has been newly introduced to foreigners coming to Japan for work. It has two sub-types:
- The Specified Skills Visa No.1 allows foreigners to work in Japan for a period of 5 years and is immediately accessible for application
- The Specified Skills Visa No.2 allows foreigners to work in Japan indefinitely. It is to be noted however that this visa is yet to be released for use.
- Applicants can renew their work visas if they are found eligible to do so.
