1.What is the Engineer/ Specialist in Humanities/ International Services Visa?

1. What is the Engineer/ Specialist in Humanities/ International Services Visa?

Put simply this is what most people would call the 'working visa'. This is generally considered to be the visa with the widest remit. This visa is given to those wanting to work in Japan for both private/public companies as well as government bodies.

This visa is split up into 3 sections

1. Engineer-

This is broadly given to those who intend to work in science related fields. A big example of this would be an engineer or a computer programmer.

Qualifications required:
Either a science degree (Bachelor's usually) or 10 years of relevant full-time work experience.
2.Specialist in Humanities

This is broadly given to those who intend to work in the humanities (arts). Examples of this include marketing etc.

Qualifications required:
A related Bachelor's degree or 10 years of relevant full-time work experience.
3. International Services

This is given to those who work in fields that immigration deem there to be some kind of specific benefit in being carried out by a foreign national. The main examples of this that stand out are language teaching, and translation.

Qualifications required:
-A bachelor's degree or 3 years of relevant full-time work experience.
-N.B. depending on the specialism it can be possible to qualify as the graduate of a technical school (専門学校).

This is quite a wide reaching visa however, if you are deemed to fall into one of the other working visas such as legal/accounting, medical workers, intra-company transfer you will need to apply for that visa instead.


2. Some things to look out for.

1. Minimum Residence Requirement:

Unlike permanent residence there is no defined minimum amount in each year that you need to be in Japan in order to be able to renew your visa. As long as you can prove that you have a good reason to be out of the country and that you are still working based out of Japan (and using your visa) you should be ok with renewals.

2. The Overlap Between Humanities and International Services:

It can sometimes be difficult to figure out which of these you fall under. For example depending on a few factors a designer may qualify under humanities or international services. It is therefore important to be careful and be sure to apply using the correct category and submit the required documents.
