Change of Status for Visa to Japan
I finally nailed down a list of stuff you need if you're changing your visa from student to employee in Japan. It's super hard to get, but I eventually got an actual list from the immigration office in Kyoto. I'm not giving it as any form of legal advice, and if you're in serious trouble or something, go get an attorney. It's simply a reference designed to be a little helpful. If you want to read it, click "more".
Change of Status to Worker in Japan (specifically teacher at an English school, which most English-speaking foreigners tend to be anyways)
From the Applicant:
1. Resume of the applicant (apparently English is okay for this)
2. Original diploma (if it's in English, it doesn't usually need translation)
3. Original employment contract (Mine was in Japanese, which is preferred)
From the Employer:
1. Letter explaining the need to employ the applicant
2. Certified copy of corporate registration
3. Balance sheet, report of profit and loss
4. Certificate of corporation tax payment
5. Company brochure (we also did print outs of the company website)
6. List of non-Japanese employees
To fill out the form you will need to know how many employees total the company has and how many of them are foreign. If it's a company with capital you need to know that amount. You also need to know last year's total income for the company. Make sure you bring your passport and alien registration card with you. Of course, if you're missing anything they'll just send you away and tell you to return with more things. But if you bring all of this stuff, technically you should be all set to go. Again, this isn't legal advice of any sort, merely a helpful list and if you need true advice, hire an attorney.
