Hello,
I'm Jenn from Spain and I've been living in Japan since September 2025. I recently joined a japanese company as IT Engineer Specialist.
My current Visa is a Student Visa and their lawyer applied last Wednesday to a Visa Change. While everything should be great I have a couple handicaps around my profiel:
- I have 2 University Degrees but they're on Humanities Field.
- I have more than 6 years of real and proved experience as IT Engineer working even for the European Union.
I've read that you MUST have a technical engeneering degree or 10 years of experience. I do not fill any of those BUT the company lawyer said that if the case is well presented and the company justifies the urge of having me Inmigration may accept it (as in some other circumstances in the past). But I'm kind of scared since I know Inmigration can be pretty hard on this cases, and now with all the new laws propposal can get even worst.
Any advice that anyone can give be?
Thanks a lot in advance.
