What is the Gijinkoku Visa?

The Gijinkoku visa (Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services) is a professional work visa for foreign workers with specialized expertise in engineering, information technology, business, and other professional occupations. Wages, rights, and benefits are equal to those of Japanese workers. It is generally aimed at D3/S1 graduates working in a field aligned with their education, can be extended long-term as long as you remain employed and meet the requirements, and allows you to bring your spouse and children to Japan.

Two Ways to Prepare:in Indonesia or Directly in Japan

There are two official routes to IT / Computing, and we guide you on both. The difference is where you study, and that shapes your chances of being hired.

Route 1

Route 2Better chance of being hired

Study Directly in Japan

Language training and work preparation at a Japanese language school

Best for

Anyone who wants a better chance of being hired and a long-term professional career, in Japan or back in Indonesia.

Choose a Japanese language school
View preparation steps — Study Directly in Japan
  1. Go on a student visa to the Japanese language school you choose
  2. N2 usually comes sooner, because you study and live in Japanese every day
  3. Work training at school: career guidance, business Japanese and interview practice
  4. Join shūkatsu (Japan's recruiting season) and job fairs for international students
  5. Face-to-face interviews, then a switch to the Gijinkoku visa without going home first

No D3 or bachelor's degree? Graduates of a vocational school (senmon gakko) or university in Japan can apply for a Gijinkoku visa, or another work visa, for work that matches their major.
