point

Foreigners who currently reside in Japan with the status of residence "Technical Intern Training" or "Designated Activities" (foreign construction workers) can apply for permission to change their status of residence without temporarily returning to their home country Japan.

It is prohibited to engage in malicious poaching practices, whether direct or indirect, against foreign nationals employed by other businesses.

Common Code of Conduct for the Construction Industry for the Proper and Smooth Acceptance of Specified Skilled Worker (Abstract) (Resolution of the JAC General Assembly on April 1, 2019)

II. Obligations of the Host Company (Employer)

14. The host company shall maintain a good working environment and provide appropriate treatment while maintaining close communication on a daily basis so that the Specified Skilled Worker can effectively demonstrate its capabilities, and shall not engage in malicious extortion of foreigners employed by other companies, regardless of direct or indirect means.

Regardless of whether they are Japanese or foreign, construction workers cannot be referred by paid employment placement agencies. Receiving the introduction of foreigners in exchange for payment is a violation of the Employment Security Law. In the case of (2) 1) above, it is assumed that in many cases foreigners who were employed by the company in the past are re-employed, but there is no problem if they have not received paid employment placement services.

Before implementing The Specified Skills (i) Evaluation Exam for Construction Industry overseas, JAC will conduct a job search survey among regular member construction trade associations and supporting member construction companies. After that, we will conduct a job search survey and match foreigners who have passed both skills evaluation exam and the Japanese language test with employment.
