What to check before looking for work
Think about your current situation and what you want next.
- Your current work and the field you want to work in next
- Your experience, qualifications and examinations passed
- Where you want to work and when you would like to start
- Conditions you particularly want to check, such as housing and working hours
Work eligibility and requirements vary from person to person.
The points to check depend on your field, experience, examinations and residence status. This page alone does not determine whether you are eligible to work. For current information about the system, please refer to the Immigration Services Agency of Japan.
