If from the general trend, the transfer of foreigners working in Japan has a tendency to increase year by year.

Foreigners working in Japan were only 496000 in 2008, up to 1460000 in 2018, three times in a decade.
In addition, affected by the epidemic, foreigners are more willing to change their jobs than Japanese. According to the survey, about 70% of foreigners are preparing for work change.
Japan is continuously promoting the improvement of the treatment of foreigners workers, and it is worth looking forward to in the future.
Among the foreigners working in Japan, the most people hold the technology, humanities knowledge and international business. So take the person holding the visa as an example to introduce the relevant procedures that you need and can choose to handle when you transfer to the post.
If the work changes, the "subordinate machine" shall be submitted to the administration within 14 days of resignation or resignation.


If you slow down, you will be punished for less than 200000 yen and there are also examples of forced shortening of stay in the next visa update.
The above mentioned is that after the job change, the work content is still within the scope of technology, humanities knowledge and international business. If the work content is no longer within the scope of the visa, for example, it is possible to change to another company as a director. According to the specific work content, it is possible to change to the business management visa. For example, if the Chinese language was originally taught in private schools with educational visas and the job changed into translation, the visa should be replaced with technology, humanities knowledge and international business.
If the work content is still within the scope of technical, humanistic knowledge and international business visa, there is no other necessary specific procedures before the visa expires except for the above-mentioned term. However, if you have any concerns about the next visa renewal, you can apply for the certificate of qualification.


The purpose of the qualification certificate is not mandatory, and its purpose can be simply understood as "explain the work content, reasons and other reasons of the new company in advance before the next renewal of the visa, so as to greatly reduce the risk of non license when the visa is updated after the transfer".
