The Immigration Services Agency of Japan\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>will be compiling specific conditions by March\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>this year to lessen the rampant number of foreign workers in connection to the Technical Intern Training Program, the government-sponsored work training program in Japan.<\/p>\n In an interview with Japan Times, immigration officials said the agency will ban participating companies in the program that will violate the agency’s conditions. In addition to that, they will also keep the overseas organizations updated to avoid violation of the trainee’s rights.<\/p>\n The agency stated that they will reveal companies whose trainees have gone missing as well as those who have helped them in their employment in other companies through illegal actions.<\/p>\n Changing from a\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><\/b>T<\/b><\/strong>ourist <\/b><\/strong>V<\/b><\/strong>isa to a <\/b><\/strong>W<\/b><\/strong>orking or <\/b><\/strong>S<\/b><\/strong>tudent <\/b><\/strong>V<\/b><\/strong>isa <\/b><\/strong>W<\/b><\/strong>hile in Japan<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0is Basically Not Allowed<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Oftentimes, many people come to Japan\u00a0on a tourist visa\u00a0but are really looking\u00a0to\u00a0work or to take a short-term study course. From there, they will change their Visa type from tourist to working or student.<\/p>\n This may be more difficult than expected. In fact, this is not basically allowed in Japan . It is better to go back to your home country to get the\u00a0Visa processing done.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, to apply for a change of status of residence, the applicant must fill in necessary application forms, present documents and submit a service counter at\u00a0the\u00a0regional immigration office. From 1980, Japan\u00a0has been implementing the\u00a0Wo<\/b><\/strong>rking <\/b><\/strong>H<\/b><\/strong>oliday <\/b><\/strong>P<\/b><\/strong>rogram<\/b><\/strong>\u2014a program for people to enjoy a holiday in Japan while working part-time to support themselves.<\/p>\n Working holiday treaties are drawn individually between Japan and other countries. While the rules vary from country to country, many have a clause that stipulates you must return home after the visa duration is complete.<\/p>\n With a working holiday visa, you may not change your visa status while still in the country. You are supposed to go back home and get the visa at the consulate, the same as those on tourist visas.<\/p>\n Make sure you take note of these things before you travel!<\/em><\/p>\n Source:\u00a0Japan Times website<\/a>,\u00a0Immigration Services Agency of Japan<\/a>,\u00a0Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you plan on visiting Japan soon, here are three things a foreigner should know about short term visa in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8452,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1727,1726],"tags":[1568,1572,1571,1569,1570],"class_list":["post-8448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-legal-procedure","category-procedure","tag-japan-immigration","tag-japan-short-term-visa-for-foreigners","tag-japan-visa-2020","tag-japan-visa-for-foreign-visitors","tag-short-term-visa-for-foreign-visitors"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/tips-guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/tips-guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/tips-guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/tips-guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/tips-guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8448"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/tips-guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8448\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9637,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/tips-guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8448\/revisions\/9637"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/tips-guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/tips-guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/tips-guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/tips-guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/tips-guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/02\/depositphotos_45958121-stock-photo-passport-stamp-visa-of-japan-1.jpg\")
