Case background: a case in which majors and duties match
Ms. A graduated from the Department of Animation and Manga at a Korean technical university in 2019 and has about a year of experience working in webtoon production for a media company after graduation. He is able to speak Japanese at a daily conversational level and was currently working under an outsourcing contract with a company specializing in webtoon production located in Shiba, Minato-ku, Tokyo. My actual work was in charge of drawing webtoons, a situation that was very relevant to my major and work history.
Administrative Analysis and Strategy
The key points of this issue areMatch of major and job description."It is. Majoring in animation/manga and working on webtoon production as a practical job is a big advantage in the examination for the "Technical/Humanities/International Services" visa. The company he works for is a small to medium-sized enterprise, but it is in stable operation, and the fact that Mr. A himself has a stable livelihood was a favorable factor.
The firm focused its preparation on the following points
- A job description that clearly states the relevance of the job description and major
- A professional resume that specifically summarizes your background in webtoon production
- Documents proving stability of contract and income
As a result, we were able to obtain the permit in just three weeks from the time of application, without the need to submit any additional documentation.
5-year visa
Mr. A obtained a 5-year "Technical/Humanities/International Services" visa, giving him a secure foundation for long-term activities in Japan. This case is very helpful for those who are considering a future visa change during their working holiday.
Advice from Horiuchi Gyoseishoshi Law Office
When applying for a "Technical/Humanities/International Services" visa, the most important factor is the relevance of your major and your current work duties. If, as in this case, the major and duties clearly match, the examination period tends to be short and the application is approved relatively smoothly without the submission of any additional documents.
It is very important to carefully organize and submit your educational and professional background, especially in specialized fields such as design, content creation, and IT. In addition, even freelance contracts have a good chance of being approved if the work is clear and the income is stable.
