The Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) visa was created to address labour shortages in designated industry fields in Japan.
Applicants generally need to pass a skills test in their field and demonstrate Japanese ability. After that, they sign a contract with an accepting organisation and apply for a Certificate of Eligibility.
Rules and available fields are updated by the Japanese government, so always confirm the latest requirements before you begin preparing.
