For a Japan work visa, your employer in Japan applies for a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) for you. Once it is issued, you apply for the visa in Pakistan.
This checklist is for Pakistani passport holders applying from Pakistan. If you live in another country, the process and documents can be different.
What the Embassy of Japan in Pakistan requires
- A Certificate of Eligibility (COE), obtained for you by your employer in Japan from the Immigration Services Agency. The original must be submitted
- A completed and signed visa application form
- One photo, 4.5cm x 4.5cm, with a white background
- A valid passport, plus all old passports
Documents usually needed
- Employment contract
- Degrees and experience letters
- Original CNIC
Good to know
- You cannot apply for a Japanese work visa without a COE. We do not arrange jobs; we help with your file once your employer has obtained the COE.
