Can I work in Japan?

How it works: Specified Skilled Worker visa for hotel line jobs: pass a skills test and basic Japanese (JLPT N4), then the employer sponsors you; no local-first test; 5 years at most.

Watch for: Pass the hotel skills test and basic Japanese (N4) first; you can sit both in Japan on a short stay. Ask whether room cleaning alone is covered: it is not among the listed jobs.

Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
