Visa options for Engineers in Japan - Online Talk

The most common visa for software engineers in Japan is the Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services visa. However, there are several other visa options available for those who want to build a tech career in Japan, regardless of the background. The aim of this webinar is to fill some of that knowledge gap, and help you choose the most suitable option based on your aspirations.

For this hands-on event, we are excited to welcome Miho Tanaka, CEO of StartupWork and Director of Shibuya Welcome Service, and Wei Chai, CEO & Founder of Tokyo-based foodtech startup Mona. Having extensive experience of helping foreign entrepreneurs enter the Japanese market, Miho Tanaka is now leading a government-backed project on Shibuya Startup visa. Our second speaker Wei Chai has an engineering degree from an Imperial College London and spent several years working with finances and tech before launching his own startup in Tokyo.
