(Note) What is a Certificate of Eligibility?

A Certificate of Eligibility is issued before a visa application by a regional immigration authority under the jurisdiction
of the Ministry of Justice as evidence that the foreign national meets the conditions for landing in Japan, including
the requirements that the activity in which the foreign national wishes to engage in while in Japan at the time of the
examination is not fraudulent and is an activity that comes under a status of residence (excluding Temporary Visitor
Status) stipulated in the Immigration Control Act. (Application by a proxy in Japan is allowed. For details go to the
Ministry of Justice, Immigration Bureau.)
A foreign national in possession of a Certificate of Eligibility can get a visa issued more easily at an embassy or
consulate within the standard processing period (five working days). (However, issuance of the visa is not guaranteed.)
Furthermore, there is the advantage that if the certificate is shown to the immigration officer at the time of the landing, the foreign national can more easily demonstrate that the status of residence conforms to the conditions
for landing in Japan such as control, etc.
Although the visa application for a long-term status can be made directly to the embassy or
the consulate even without this certificate, please be aware that in this case it will be necessary to submit a large
number of documents for verification in addition to those mentioned above and the processing may take longer (several months).
