According to item 13, paragraph 1, Article 4 of the Entry-Exit Administration Law, China citizens can accept the employment of Japanese restaurants as chefs to engage in cooking business in Japan. The visa number is 4-L- 13, which is an ordinary work visa. Hotels run by Japanese and overseas Chinese can hire chefs from China. Generally speaking, a hotel can hire 1 to 3 foreign chefs.

3. Intern visa
In order to alleviate the severity of labor shortage in Japanese enterprises, the Japanese government reached an agreement with the governments and non-governmental organizations of relevant countries to accept some foreign workers in an organized and planned way and assign them to relevant enterprises to study and work. This will not only help foreign companies to cultivate talents, but also supplement the shortage of Japanese labor force and achieve the goal of mutual benefit. Japan's Entry-Exit Administration and Refugee Recognition Law stipulates that Japanese overseas trainees refer to those who study in Japanese public or private institutions and acquire technology, skills or knowledge, and their residence period is 1 year, 6 months or 3 months. Students should have a fixed time to learn languages or other professional knowledge every week, usually 14 class hours, and the rest time is practical training, but the practical training time should not exceed 23 of the total training time. Students only receive appropriate allowances from the institutions they attend, and they are not paid. In the past few years, the allowance for trainees is far lower than the minimum wage standard for Japanese in the same industry and position. Recently, the Japanese government promised that China trainees in Japan can get an allowance calculated and paid according to the minimum wage standard of Japanese in the same industry and position. According to Japanese law, trainees have no overtime pay, subsidies and bonuses.
Japan's newly promulgated entry and exit administration law also stipulates that overseas trainees must be between the ages of 20 and 40; The knowledge, technology or skills learned by the trainees should be something that the trainees can't learn or are difficult to learn in their own countries; After the expiration of the training period, returnees should engage in professional work related to the training field in Japan.

(2) Enterprises that accept overseas investment from Japanese enterprises;
(3) Foreign enterprises that have trade relations with enterprises that intend to send and accept trainees for more than one year, or foreign enterprises whose bilateral trade volume exceeded 6,543.8 billion yen in the past year.
For Japanese enterprises whose Japanese shares reach or exceed 20% in a foreign-funded joint venture, the ratio of the number of foreign trainees to the number of existing employees of the enterprise is 1 20, that is, the total number of foreign trainees recruited by the enterprise does not exceed120 of the total number of employees of the enterprise.
Those who stay in Japan for business activities within 90 days due to official visas, those who engage in twin cities exchange activities within 15 days, and those who participate in religious activities, sports meetings and college entrance examinations within 90 days can apply for such visas. Managers of foreign companies can get a visit visa of 15 to 90 days when they need to negotiate or sign a business contract in Japan. China people who want to go to Japan for short-term business activities should apply for a visa called "P-mode". This "P mode" is a visa procedure for short stay within 90 days, which is suitable for business, conference, sports, cultural and academic exchanges (including research). As long as the contents of the application materials are correct, the Japanese Embassy in Beijing or Consulate General in Shanghai can issue visas on the seventh working day after the application is accepted, and the consulates general in Shenyang, Dalian and Guangzhou can issue visas on the 10 day after receiving the application.

If you stay in Japan for more than 90 days, or engage in paid activities in Japan and receive training during your stay, you cannot apply in this way.
If it is a relative immigrant visa, you need to pay attention to:
Japan is not an immigrant importing country, but an immigrant exporting country. Therefore, the entry and residence of foreigners has been strictly controlled. At present, there are more than 800,000 foreign nationals living in Japan for a long time, including about139,000 from China, 50% of whom are from Taiwan Province Province, and most of them are expatriates and their descendants who lived in Japan before the Second World War.

After the above documents are complete, the applicant will send them directly to embassies and consulates in China. After examination and approval, the visa with the word "off" or "short" will be issued first, that is, the number is 4- 1-4. After arriving in Japan, I obtained the long-term residence qualification by applying for extension. After many extensions, if the Immigration Bureau believes that the immigrants have not violated the residence regulations during their stay, they can obtain a valid residence period of three years, and then they can stay permanently.
People with Japanese ancestry or blood relationship with Japanese, such as Japanese-born China, Sino-Japanese mixed-race children, their spouses, parents or Japanese China's spouse. These people can obtain special visas if they can provide proof of guarantee from Japanese relatives, employment certificates, or transcripts of household registration that prove that they were born in Japan.

If you go to the Republic of Korea through Japan, you must provide an invitation letter from the Republic of Korea. Japan will only apply for a transit visa once, not a transit visa to Saipan.
Foreigners staying in Japan (1)
1. Alien Registration Certificate
The Japanese government implements a strict registration system for foreigners entering the country. Foreigners who intend to stay in Japan for more than 90 days after entering the country must go through the formalities of registration of foreigners at the local city, district and village offices within 60 days after entering the country.
Foreigners need to show their passports, deliver two recent photos and fill out an application form for registration of foreigners. After meeting the examination procedures, the foreigner registration certificate will be issued, which mainly includes: name, nationality, date of birth, occupation, passport number, date of issuance of passport, allowed landing time, residence qualification, duration of residence, residence address after entry, residence address of the country of original nationality, and name and relationship of Japanese head of household. Entry and residence, at least 16 years old, residence period of more than one year, you need to print your fingerprint on the registration certificate. You must reapply every five years.
Alien registration certificate is a kind of identity certificate issued by the Japanese government to foreigners who live in Japan for a long time. So foreigners are required to carry it with them. When they are inspected by immigration inspectors, immigration guards and police, they must show this certificate for inspection.
If a foreigner's registration certificate is lost, stolen or damaged carelessly, he must apply to the issuing authority for a replacement or renewal within 14 days from the date of discovery. During the Japanese period, if the address, occupation, residence qualification change, or marriage, divorce, adoption and other things happen, you should go through the registration formalities at the issuing authority within 14 days. Anyone who violates the above-mentioned relevant regulations, if he fails to bring the certificate with him or fails to apply for a replacement in time, will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of less than 1 year or a fine of 200,000 yen.
2. Application for change of residence qualification
When foreigners enter Japan, they can also change their original residence qualifications to other residence qualifications if there are justified reasons. For example, students of Japanese language schools who hold the residence qualification of "studying" can apply for changing their residence qualification to "studying abroad" after being admitted to universities or specialized schools; After graduation, those who hold the residence qualification of "studying abroad" can work in Japanese enterprises or change to other corresponding residence qualifications after examination and approval. According to the current regulations of the Japanese government, in principle, all kinds of residence qualifications can be exchanged, but it is generally extremely difficult for a person with a "short-term stay" residence qualification to be approved to change to other residence qualifications.
Foreigners who have lived in Japan and married Japanese can apply to change their original residence qualification to "Japanese spouse" residence qualification. However, in recent years, due to the increasing number of foreigners who use fake marriages to achieve the purpose of long-term residence in Japan, the Japanese exit-entry administration departments tend to be more strict in this review. The focus of the review is the credibility of the marriage, such as whether the marriage is true, whether the marriage can last, whether it has lived together (there are reasonable reasons to separate) and so on. Once considered as a fake marriage, foreigners will be deported. At the same time, even if the residence qualification of "Japanese spouse" is obtained, the immigration authorities often only give the foreigner a six-month residence period at the first time to observe whether the marriage is stable. If the marital status continues, the residence period can be extended at that time, and generally it will be changed to the residence qualification of "permanent resident" after three years.
However, according to the "vice president", it is better to immigrate for a while.
