On March 2nd, in the previous post on this blog, “Permission criteria for specialized graduate students will be relaxed regarding the residence status of \u201cEngineer\/Specialist in Humanities\/International Services\u201d<\/a>”, I wrote that the educational requirements that serve as the standard for granting the status of residence: “Engineer\/Specialist in Humanities\/International Services” (Engineer Nation) to international students graduating from vocational schools<\/strong> will be relaxed to make them similar to those for university graduates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The relaxation of standards for international students graduating from vocational schools extends to another status of residence, “Designated Activities,” Notification No. 46, in addition to “Engineer\/Specialist in Humanities\/International Services”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\uff1cWhat is Designated Activities\uff1e<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The status of residence “Designated Activities” is a status of residence that is prepared as a receptacle for those whose purpose is to engage in activities that do not fall under the specified status of residence, such as “engineer\/specialist in humanities\/international services” or “business\/management” etc.. It is a qualification and is an activity specifically designated for individual foreigners by the Minister of Justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are designated activities specified in advance, and various activities are designated from Notification No. 1 (household servant) to No. 50 (ski instructor). (Since this is a status of residence that serves as a receptacle, notifications may be deleted or added to reflect the immigration policy at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\uff1cDesignated Activities\uff1eNo.46\uff1e<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Designated Activities Notification No. 46 is for \u201cgraduates of Japanese universities.\u201d Foreigners who have graduated from Japanese universities, etc. (including graduate schools and technical colleges) are required to have a certain level of Japanese language proficiency, and are allowed to engage in on-the-job (unskilled) activities that are not permitted in “technical countries.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, Notification No. 46 only targeted graduates of universities, etc. (graduate schools, junior colleges, and technical colleges), but with this operational change, graduates of vocational schools will now be eligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
