Under the Technical Intern Training Program, workers can work for up to 3 years as Technical Intern Trainee (i) and (ii). If they advance to Technical Intern Trainee (iii), they can extend their stay for an additional 2 years.

Alternatively, workers can switch to the Specified Skilled Worker (i) visa and continue working for up to 5 years. After completing Specified Skilled Worker (i), if they upgrade to Specified Skilled Worker (ii), they can work in Japan on a long-term basis.

After passing the interview, interns must complete a basic Japanese language training course for 4–6 months before departure.

If an accident or injury occurs during work, the Japanese workers’ compensation insurance system (workers’ accident compensation insurance) will apply. Medical expenses are usually covered by the insurance, and the accepting company, supervising organization, or support staff will assist with necessary procedures and medical arrangements.

If you have paid Employee Pension or National Pension for more than 6 months but do not meet the conditions for receiving a pension upon returning to your country, you can request a lump-sum withdrawal.
