HOW IT WORKS — FROM OVERSEAS

Coming to Japan —
we won't leave you alone.

From initial consultation and interviews through visa applications, arrival, and beyond.
Every step from your home country to your first day at work—in your native language.

Thinking about moving to Japan?

It's possible to build a career in Japan
from anywhere.

"I'm not confident in Japanese." "Visa procedures sound complicated."
"How will I find a place to live?" — When you're considering a move to Japan from overseas, doubts are natural.

But there's a better way. Jobee walks with you every step—native-language consultations, online interviews, visa applications, housing arrangements, airport pickup, and first-day guidance. From your home country to starting work in Japan, we handle everything so you won't be left to figure it out alone.

Start with a single message online.

STEP BY STEP

Jobee's 7-step process.

STEP 01 Initial online inquiry and registration
01 Takes: 5–15 min

Reach out online—start your journey.

Contact us through our form, LINE, email, or Messenger—whatever works for you. Tell us which country you're in, what type of work interests you, and your family situation. Registration is free, and you can change your mind at any time.

  • Form, LINE, Messenger, or email—your choice
  • We respond in your native language (8 languages supported)
  • We adjust timing for your timezone
STEP 02 Online video counseling
02 Takes: 30–60 min

Video call—get to know your options.

We'll meet via Zoom, LINE video, WhatsApp, or your preferred platform. We'll discuss your work experience, qualifications, Japanese language level, your ideal work-life balance, and family plans, then suggest suitable positions and visa types that match your situation.

  • Zoom, LINE, WhatsApp, Messenger—whatever you prefer
  • No resume needed—we start with conversation
  • Bringing family? We can discuss that now
STEP 03 Job introductions and document preparation
03 Takes: 1–2 weeks

Perfect-fit jobs and your strongest application.

We introduce you to opportunities that match you—including exclusive openings not posted publicly. Once you find an interesting company, we handle translating and formatting your resume, CV, and credentials into Japanese standards.

  • See companies through videos and photos before applying
  • We translate and certify your overseas qualifications
  • We create your Japanese-style resume and CV together
STEP 04 Online company interview with support
04 Takes: 30–60 min

Interview with a Jobee coordinator by your side.

All company interviews happen online, and our coordinator joins to provide interpretation and support. We help you understand questions, clarify any confusing points, and voice your questions to the company. You'll have the chance to ask about salary, schedule, and working conditions freely.

  • Full interpretation and support during the interview
  • Ask freely about pay, schedule, and conditions
  • Interview with multiple companies in parallel
STEP 05 Offer and Certificate of Eligibility (COE) application
05 Takes: 1–3 months

Offer and visa sponsorship—clear next steps.

Once you receive an offer, we review the employment contract in your native language. Then we move to the Certificate of Eligibility (COE) application. We partner with immigration specialists to prepare and submit your application, and once approved, you'll collect your visa at your nearest Japanese embassy or consulate.

  • Contract review with native-language explanations
  • Immigration specialists handle your COE and visa applications
  • Processing typically takes 1–3 months (varies by country and season)
STEP 06 Arrival preparation and orientation
06 Takes: 2–4 weeks

Everything ready for your arrival.

Once your visa is approved, it's time to prepare for the move.
We arrange housing near your workplace (furnished options available), coordinate your arrival flight, and provide pre-arrival orientation on culture, safety, and workplace etiquette. A Jobee coordinator will pick you up at the airport.

  • Housing arranged (furnished available, foreign nationals welcome)
  • Flight coordination and booking support
  • Pre-arrival orientation (culture, safety, workplace customs)
  • Airport to housing transportation included
STEP 07 Arrival and ongoing support
07 From arrival—ongoing

Your first weeks and beyond.

The first two weeks are intensive settlement time. Our coordinators accompany you for residency registration at city hall, opening a bank account, getting a phone, and applying for your individual number (My Number). We're with you on your first day at work, and we continue supporting you as long as you're building your career in Japan.
