The first question

Is this job open to people in India?

Most Japan postings never say. We read each posting and turn what it states into simple tags.

What about my Indian degree?

Japan’s main work visa for engineers (Engineer / Specialist in Humanities / International Services) accepts a relevant degree from an Indian university, or enough relevant work experience. The employer and Immigration Services decide each case.

Show India-friendly roles

  • Visa sponsorship

    The posting says the company sponsors a work visa.

  • Overseas applicants OK

    The posting explicitly welcomes applicants from outside Japan.

  • Relocation support

    Relocation help is stated. It often means hiring from abroad, but confirm with the employer.

  • Business Japanese (≈N2)

    The Japanese level the posting asks for, from “not required” to N1.

  • Visa / overseas: check listing

    The posting doesn’t say. Some of these roles do hire from abroad, so read the full listing or ask the employer.
