To Companies Employing Foreign Nationals

Companies that employ full-time employees are legally obligated to enroll in labor and social insurance.
However, some companies remain un-enrolled despite having this legal obligation.

In the past, even if a company employing a foreign national was not enrolled in these insurance programs, the employee's application for an extension of period of stay was sometimes granted. Recently, however, the Immigration Bureau has begun requesting the submission of receipts for these insurance premium payments. There have been cases where applications for extension were denied because these documents were not submitted.

If an application for extension of period of stay is denied, the foreign employee must change jobs to a different company and then re-apply for the extension.
