You have to full fill various requirements provided in Japanese immigration control act in order to get official visa status and be permitted to engage in remunerative activities.

There are a lot of requirements for every foreigner to get working visa in Japanese immigration control act. Criteria and requirements are provided individually for each kind of visa status. The immigration inspectors will examine and study Vio data of applicant, his specific field, job description at his company and reason to work.

Key contents of immigration procedures

1.Application for Certificate of Eligibility (COE) at the immigration bureau in Japan
The Certificate of Eligibility has the advantage of reducing the time required to obtain a visa and complete immigration procedures, since a foreigner in possession of such a certificate can probably acquire a visa at an embassy or consulate without any inquiries being made to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and, by showing the certificate to the immigration officer, obtain landing permission more easily.
. However, it may need a lot of supporting materials and time to establish that the applicant fulfills the requirement under the immigration control Act (ICA) in a brief landing examination. Therefore, in ICA, the procedures to apply for the certificate in advance showing that the applicant fulfills the above requirement are established. This certificate is called “Certificate of Eligibility” (COE). If the applicant carries it, the landing procedures are simplified. The COE basically shows the embassy at which you are applying for a visa that there is a company willing to hire you, and they trust you already. This way, the Embassy will be able to speed up your visa process, since all the background checks have pretty much been done by the company, and the immigration office in Japan
