Hello all
I have been working at a subsidiary branch of a Japanese company in London for 6 years and will transfer to HQ in Tokyo April 2015.
Bearing in mind my specific work experience (and degree), length of time with employer, and employers long relationship with visa issuing authorities, I don't forsee any major problem with them obtaining a visa for me under the category of "Specialist in Humanities / International Services", but wanted to know if anyone had any idea of what practical difference there might be between the "Intra-company transfer" and regular "Work" types.
I understand both can be issued for 1 or 3 years - is this at the jurisdiction of the Japanese home office, or is this specified on application? Is there any difference in cost? Freedoms for employee?
Advice appreciated.
