Planning to work in Japan?

JLPT N4-level Japanese is an important first step for daily life and work in Japan. However, visa eligibility does not depend only on Japanese ability. Skill tests, work experience, employment contracts, job duties, and employer documents may also be important.

If you are planning to work in Japan, apply for a Specified Skilled Worker visa, or change from student status to a work visa, it is better to check the requirements early.
