Frequently Asked Questions
What visa do I need to work in Japan?
Most professionals use the Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services visa (usually called the 'Engineer visa'). Your employer sponsors the application. Processing takes 1–3 months. Japan also has a Highly Skilled Professional (HSP) visa offering fast-track residency.
Do I need to speak Japanese to work in Japan?
Not always. Many international companies and tech startups in Tokyo (especially GaijinPot-listed companies) hire English-only speakers. That said, Japanese skills significantly expand your options and help with daily life outside the office.
What are IT salaries in Japan?
Software engineers earn ¥5,000,000–¥10,000,000/year (approx. USD 33,000–67,000). While lower than US/European salaries in absolute terms, Tokyo's lifestyle is high-quality and Japan has one of the most stable economies in Asia.
