Concepts Mentioned

Visa Definition

A visa is a state document attached to your passport that permits entry and exit of a country.

Work in Japan via Tokutei Ginō (特定技能)

For working in Japan using a Tokutei Ginō (特定技能) permit, the presenter says you should apply for an SSW visa (Tokutei Ginō visa).

Not allowed:

• Using a tourist visa for work
• Using a work/study-type visa for another purpose
  • Example given: using a work visa for college

Jurisdiction Rules in Indonesia

• Visa application location depends on the consulate/office area.
• Examples of cities/areas mentioned: Medan, Denpasar, Makassar, Surabaya, Jakarta
• If you have lived in a city for less than 6 months, you generally cannot apply there.

Instead, you must apply based on one of the following:

• The last area you lived, or
• The area corresponding to your ID card (nearest visa application office)

Methodology / “How To” Steps

Step 1: Determine the Correct Visa Type for Your Work Purpose

• If your goal is to work in Japan with a Tokutei Ginō permit, apply for an SSW / Tokutei Ginō visa.
• Do not use:
  • a tourist visa for work, or
  • a visa type that doesn’t match your intended activity.

If misuse is found, you may be blacklisted and prevented from returning to Japan for several years (depending on how serious the case is).

Step 2: Choose the Correct Application Region/City

• Identify the visa-issuing Consulate General / application office for the relevant city/region.
• Follow the rule:
  • If you live in an area for less than 6 months, you generally cannot apply there.
  • Instead, apply in:
    • the city/area where you previously lived (“last area” rule), or
    • the area based on your ID card (choose the nearest eligible visa office).

Example Logic Given

• Lived in Surabaya for 2 months
• Previously lived in Jakarta for 1 year
• But your ID card is Medan

Possible options mentioned:

• Apply in Jakarta by obtaining a domicile certificate from the local Village Head (where you live).
• Alternatively, apply in Medan based on your ID card.

Not allowed:

• Do not apply in Surabaya because residence is under 6 months.

Step 3: Prepare Documents to Bring

Bring:

• Original passport
• Copy of original ID card, or
• Photocopy + printed printout of e-KTP/eID (as described)

Also:

• Download and print the visa application letter (The video states it should be downloaded from a listed website, though the exact URL is not shown in the subtitles.)

Step 4: Submit and Wait for Processing

Processing time is stated as approximately 3 to 5 working days.

Step 5: Pay the Fee (If Applying Yourself)

• Fee stated: approximately 600,000 (Currency not explicitly stated, but implied as local IDR based on the context.)

Step 6: After the Visa Is Issued

You will be asked to:

• Pick up your passport, or
• Request delivery service to have the passport sent to your address.

Step 7: Complete Remaining Requirements

After visa readiness:

• Complete all documents required to work in Japan
• Then leave according to the date set by your company
