1.What is the Skilled Labor Visa?

The Skilled Labor visa allows those with specialist knowledge in certain fields to come and work in Japan. More specifically this applies to more physical work. To get a better understanding let's look at the official list of approved professions.

This visa is restricted to those with what immigration recognize as particularly specialized skills in the following fields:

-Food Preparation
-Architectural Engineering
-The production or maintenance of specialized equipment
-The production of jewels, precious metals, and the treatment or fur or leather
-The domestication/ training of animals
-The extraction of crude oil or the production of geothermal energy
-Pilots
-High level sports coaching
-Wine Appraisal (internationally recognized sommelier etc.)

Of all of these the most common profession for holders of this visa is by far and away those involved in food preparation. This is usually either by those working as chefs in restaurants or those involved in specialty food preparation in factories.

As we can see there is a physical aspect to all these jobs but unlike something simple like stacking shelves or working on a factory production line these jobs are generally seen as highly skilled work. This visa usually requires 10 years of direct experience however, there are exceptions to this rule i.e. in the case of Thai chefs where the rule has been relaxed to 5 years because of an agreement between the governments of Japan and Thailand.
