Rather than checking labor laws, it will be used as supporting evidence for the items required for certification of the Construction Specified Skills Acceptance Plan, and will confirm whether the standards specific to the construction industry are met.

The fact that a construction Specified Skills acceptance plan has been approved does not mean that the Ministry has certified that the contents of the employment contract and employment conditions attached to the application are legal in light of labor laws and regulations.

[New Entry/Changing Jobs]
This will be carried out within three months prior to joining the company or approximately one month after joining the company.

[If you are continuously employed while in a different residence status]
Please fill in the date of the health examination you took within the past year from the start date of your Specified Skills employment, and in the first regular health examination section, you may fill in the date of your next health examination.
