Category of affiliated institution

When applying for a work visa, not only the foreign national himself/herself will be screened, but also his/her affiliated institution (place of employment).
As a result, documents related to the affiliated institution must be submitted, but affiliated institutions are divided into four categories, and the documents to be submitted will vary depending on the category to which the affiliated institution belongs.
The differences between the categories are as follows:

• Category 1: Companies listed on the Japanese stock exchange, national and local governments, etc.
• Category 2: Organizations and individuals with withholding tax on employment income for the previous year of 10 million yen or more
• Category 3: Organizations and individuals who have submitted statutory totals such as withholding slips for employee salary income for the previous year
• Category 4: Organizations and individuals that do not fall under categories 1 to 3

If your institution belongs to categories 1 and 2, there is a tendency for fewer documents to be submitted and the review period to be shorter.
In addition, the period of stay permitted may be multiple years from the initial application.
