Who this article is forA reapplication after a 技術・人文知識・国際業務 (技人国) renewal was denied, an enquiry from the applicant himself.
When reapplying with the same company, the prospects seem to depend on how often and how concretely instructions from the representative director living overseas and reports from the applicant were actually made, and the absence of an officer in Japan who can bear management responsibility is considered a weakness. With the same company, combining proof of how the instructions were actually given with a correction of the management structure in Japan would raise the chances, and if there is a good new employer, changing jobs is considered safer.
A reapplication after a 技術・人文知識・国際業務 (技人国) renewal was denied, an enquiry from the applicant himself.
The prospects seem to depend on how often and how concretely the instructions and reports were made.
There seems to be a possibility, but because the application has been denied once, the Immigration Services Bureau (出入国在留管理局) is thought unlikely to be easily persuaded. The prospects seem to depend on how often and how concretely the instructions by WeChat and similar means (and the applicant's reports) were made, and if both frequency and content are thin, the application is thought to be one where the outcome cannot be predicted.
The absence of an officer in Japan who can bear management responsibility is thought to be a weakness.
The absence of an officer in Japan who can bear management responsibility is thought to be a weakness. In an example where an application to change to 技人国 was denied for a similar reason at a company whose representative was applying for a 在留資格認定証明書 (Certificate of Eligibility), the application was approved on reapplication after attaching a document explaining and pledging that a Japanese officer would be brought in, that this officer would resign once the representative came to Japan, and that until then this officer would manage as the person in charge in cooperation with the representative. If reapplying with the same company, combining proof of how the instructions were actually given with a correction of the management structure in Japan is thought to raise the chances.
If the new employer is a good one, changing jobs is thought to be safer.
With a move to a different company, it is thought unnecessary to explain the previous application to that extent. Safety as a recovery depends on the new employer and cannot be stated categorically, but if the new employer is a good one, changing jobs is thought to be safer. On the other hand, because the mother-in-law's 「経営・管理」 application is still under screening, even when changing jobs it is thought good to submit explanatory materials showing that "the mother-in-law made the management decisions and gave the instructions, and the applicant reported to her and sought her instructions and decisions". As things stand, it may be suspected that the applicant, whose application was denied, is the real manager and the mother-in-law is only a nominal representative, which could also affect the mother-in-law's screening.
There is a possibility, but because it has been denied once it is not easy, and the prospects seem to depend on how often and how concretely the representative gave instructions and received reports.
The absence of an officer in Japan who can bear management responsibility is said to be a weakness, and there is said to have been an example approved after the management structure was corrected, such as by appointing an officer in Japan, and explained.
It depends on the new employer, but if it is a good one, changing jobs is considered safer. However, if the screening of the same company's representative is continuing, submitting explanatory materials that take that point into account is said to be advisable.
