常見問題
What is the "Specified Skills" visa status in Japan?
The "Specified Skills" visa status is a new residency status established in April 2019 to accept foreign workers in Japan in sectors facing labor shortages. It allows individuals with specific skills and Japanese language proficiency to work in designated industries.
Which industries are covered by the "Specified Skills" visa?
The "Specified Skills" visa covers a range of industries facing labor shortages, including nursing care, building cleaning, machine and tool-related industries, industrial machinery, electronics and information industries, construction, shipbuilding and maritime industries, automobile maintenance, aviation, hotels and accommodation, agriculture, fisheries, and food and beverage manufacturing.
What is the role of a "Registration Support Organization" like Dive?
Registration Support Organizations (like Dive) assist foreign workers with "Specified Skills" status and the companies that hire them. Their support includes helping with the application process, finding accommodation, daily life support, Japanese language training, and ensuring compliance with immigration laws.
Why is the accommodation industry seeing a surge in "Specified Skills" workers?
The accommodation industry, like many others in Japan, is facing a significant labor shortage due to an aging population and a decline in the working-age population. The "Specified Skills" visa provides a pathway to address this shortage by allowing foreign nationals to work in roles such as front desk, housekeeping, and other service positions.
What are the benefits for companies hiring "Specified Skills" workers through Dive?
Companies benefit from Dive's expertise in recruiting, screening, and supporting foreign workers. Dive handles much of the administrative burden and provides ongoing support to both the worker and the employer, helping to ensure a smooth integration and long-term employment.
