Points to note when hiring a foreigner with the status of residence of “Specified Skilled Worker” for the first time
AKIRA YAMAMOTO.AKIRACurrently, the status of residence of "Specified Skilled Worker" is recognized in 12 fields.
Those with this status of residence of "Specified Skilled Worker" can work in jobs that are not permitted under other statuses of residence that allow them to work, so it is very advantageous for the companies that employ them.
Furthermore, "Specified Skills (ⅱ)" has been established in 11 fields, excluding the nursing care field.
Those with a status of residence of "Specified Skilled Worker(ⅱ) " can now bring their family members with them and can renew their status of residence without an expiration date, making it an attractive status of residence for foreigners who wish to stay in Japan for a long time.
(If you have a status of residence of "Specified Skilled Worker (ⅰ)" in the nursing care field, you can change your status of residence to "Nursing Care" and be treated the same as a "Specified Skilled Worker (ⅱ)".)
However, for companies that employ foreign nationals with a status of residence of "Specified Skilled Worker", there are several conditions that must be met, unlike when employing foreign nationals with other statuses of residence.
One of these requirements is "the applicant must have a track record of properly accepting or managing medium- to long-term residents (only those with work qualifications) in the past two years.''
Therefore, it is difficult for companies that have never employed foreigners to hire foreigners with the status of residence of "Specified Skilled Worker".
However, if all support is outsourced to a registered support organization, this condition is deemed to be met.
Therefore, if you are thinking of hiring a foreigner with a status of residence of “Specified Skilled Worker”, we recommend that you leave it to a registration support organization.
If you are not sure which registration support organization to contact, we recommend that you consult with a certified administrative procedures legal specialist who specializes in foreigners.
