Please Give me Some Advice About a Sponsor for a House Maid
My friend is working as a house maid in Japan. If possible I want to work like her, too. Please give me some advice about who can sponsor me and how I can find such a sponsor and so on.
The visa status for a house maid is that of “Designated Activities.” If your sponsor applies for a visa for you and it is approved, then you can enter Japan after finishing the necessary procedures.
The following people can be your sponsor. (1) A diplomat or consular staff approved by the Japanese government. (2) An official employee working for a foreign government or international organ approved by the Japanese government. (3) A member of the American Army with a rank designated according to the “Japan-USA Ranking Agreement.” (4) A company president who is staying in Japan with the visa status of “Investor/Business Manager” or any person equivalent to him. (5) A company president who is staying in Japan with the visa status of “Legal/Accounting Services” or any person equivalent to him.
Regarding the above-mentioned conditions (4) and (5), please be aware of the following requirements. A sponsor must be someone with a child under 13 years of age or a spouse who can’t engage in daily house work because of some illness at the time of application. Furthermore, it is necessary that you will be paid more that 150 thousand yen per month for your house work.
