Who this article is forAn application to change from 特定技能 to 技術・人文知識・国際業務 (技人国) (Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services), an enquiry from the applicant himself.
For a change to 技人国 for translation and interpreting work, it is likely that Japanese ability of N2 or above will be required, and options such as changing jobs under 特定技能2号, obtaining N2, and then changing to 技人国 are said to be conceivable. In this enquiry, however, when the wishes of the hiring side and the applicant were checked again, it turned out that streamlining clerical processing was also an urgent issue, and it is reported that because the applicant had majored in systems engineering at university, the application to change to 技人国 was filed with DX promotion as the main duties, and was approved in a little over 1 month.
An application to change from 特定技能 to 技術・人文知識・国際業務 (技人国) (Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services), an enquiry from the applicant himself.
For a change for translation and interpreting work, N2 or above is likely to be required.
Because this appears to be a change to 技人国 for translation and interpreting work, it is likely that N2 or above will be required.
It is said that it may be best to change jobs under 特定技能2号, obtain N2, and then change to 技人国.
It is said that it may be best to change jobs under 特定技能2号, obtain N2, and then change to 技人国. 特定活動 is said to be an option when a new employer has been decided under 特定技能2号. If this plan is not realistic, there is also the method of returning to the home country once and coming to Japan with a 在留資格認定証明書 (Certificate of Eligibility) (COE), but securing a job offer would apparently be a very high hurdle.
It is reported that the application was filed with DX promotion, drawing on his university major, as the main duties, and approved in a little over 1 month.
Afterwards, when the wishes of both the hiring side and the applicant were checked again, it turned out that the applicant wanted to change jobs quickly because he would take a long leave around his marriage, and that the hiring supervising organisation wanted to hire him as an interpreter but also had streamlining of clerical processing as an urgent issue. Because the applicant had graduated from a university in his home country with a major in systems engineering, he applied for 技人国 with DX promotion as the main duties, and the screening was completed in a little over 1 month, and it is reported that he received a 技人国 在留カード (Residence Card) (period of stay: 1 year). It is regarded as a valuable case of an application made through a flexible approach, showing the importance of grasping the client's real needs.
