Hi everyone,
First of all I am new here so hello to everybody!
I have a quick question about work visas. Basically I am working for a Japan based MNC company (listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange), at the Singapore office. We are talking about relocating me to Japan office, so I suspect the visa type will in this case be an intra-company transferee if I am correct?
I have visited the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan: ( Working visa: Intra-company transferee | Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan )
My understanding is that for any type of visa application, everyone must apply for a Certificate of Eligibility first. However the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says on their webpage: "However, intra-company transferees may get the visa issued relatively quickly even without this certificate if they are working for a stock exchange-listed company in Japan or a highly trusted company, for example a company that is well known internationally."
Has anyone experienced this situation before? I am trying to understand if this is a common practice and if in this case I can skip the COE application and save 2/3 months time in the process. Or is this really case by case basis and I better apply for the COE as everyone else.
Appreciate any feedback/advice,
Thank you in advance.
