Hello everyone. Christmas is just around the corner—how are you doing?
I happened to come across the following post on X and would like to share it with you.
In Ibaraki Prefecture, police officers are reportedly visiting farms and other workplaces to check whether there are any foreign nationals working illegally. Similar inspections are likely taking place in other regions as well.
Regardless of the circumstances, in order to work in Japan, it is necessary to have a visa that matches the type of work being performed.
If someone does not have a valid visa, there is a rule that by voluntarily reporting themselves to Immigration, the re-entry ban period will be limited to one year.
If you are worried about your situation or have any concerns, please feel free to consult my office.
(Below is the English translation of an X post.)
To prevent illegal stay and illegal employment, the Prefectural Police and the Ibaraki Prefecture Office for the Promotion of Proper Employment of Foreign Nationals are visiting farms and other workplaces across the prefecture.
If you employ foreign nationals, please make sure to check their status of residence and work authorization.
