Hello, I have been living in Japan for almost 4 years and my visa is SSW. ( i was a student at first)
A SSW visa will let you live and work in Japan for 5 years.
I want to live in Japan for much longer but I dont know how to.
Apparently if you have a SSW visa you need to go home to your country after 5 years since the visa is no longer valid and you cant apply for it again.
I’ve been researching and asking everyone around me about it but they’re all going home after the 5 year visa.
Anyone here who has experience having SSW and stayed longer more than 5 years without going home to your own country?What work did you do and on what visa? What was the process?
Thank you in Advance.

After completing the five-year training plan of the technical intern training, can you change to Specified Skilled Worker in the same job type without returning to home?
Yes, you can change without returning home.
