The Tokutei contract with the NEW company plus the working-conditions sheet — proving the job, salary and conditions at the place you are moving to. Without a new contract you cannot apply for the status change.
What it must show
- The Tokutei employment contract — form 1-5
- The working-conditions sheet — form 1-6 (with the wage-payment annex 1-6別紙)
- Signed by YOU
- Written in a language you understand (bilingual version)
Where to get it
The accepting company or the support organisation (登録支援機関).
How to get it
- Message the company: “Please give me a copy of the contract and working-conditions sheet.”
- Photograph every page, with the signature and seal clearly visible
- Check the company name on the contract against the fields below — copy it EXACTLY
Notes
The salary must be EQUIVALENT to a Japanese worker in the same position — Immigration checks this closely for Tokutei.

Immigration requires a health certificate on the official 参考様式第1-3号 form for every Tokutei change-of-status application. Your company's annual check-up sheet or a clinic's own form cannot substitute if any item is missing — the checklist states it must cover every examination item on the official form.
What it must show
- Form 参考様式第1-3号 (health check-up record) — filled, signed and stamped by the clinic
- Form 参考様式第1-3号別紙 (examinee's declaration) — you fill it in and SIGN BY HAND after the check-up
- Have EVERY item on the form examined (height/weight, vision & hearing, blood pressure, chest X-ray, blood test, urine test, ECG…)
- If the certificate is in a foreign language → a Japanese TRANSLATION must be attached
Where to get it
Any Japanese hospital or clinic that offers health check-ups. Call ahead: say you need a health check-up for a Specified Skilled Worker residence application and will bring the form. Not every clinic can do a chest X-ray and an ECG.
How to get it
- Download 参考様式第1-3号 from the Immigration Services Agency site (Specified Skilled Worker reference forms) and PRINT it
- Book an appointment; bring the form + your residence card — fast beforehand if the clinic requires it (blood test)
- Collect the results (usually a few days to 1-2 weeks), then write and sign the examinee's declaration
- Health check-ups are NOT covered by health insurance → you pay the full price, which varies by clinic; ask first
Notes
This is the slowest item in the whole file (booking + waiting for results) — start EARLY, not right before filing. An abnormal result is not an automatic refusal, but talk to your support organisation before submitting.

Immigration's document list applies the bilateral-agreement paper only to certain nationalities (June 2026 edition: Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam for Tokutei 1; Cambodia, Vietnam for Tokutei 2), and the skills-transfer declaration only to former technical intern trainees. Answering here keeps the app showing only what applies to you.
Notes
The list of MOC countries changes over time — if you hold another nationality but your company mentions an MOC step, check the Immigration Services Agency page again.

One of the two entry requirements for Specified Skilled Worker (i), alongside Japanese ability. The test is run by the field's examining body and can be taken in Japan or in your home country.
What it must show
- Pass certificate for your field's skills test
- Or: the certificate of successful completion of Technical Intern Training (ii) (exam waived)
- Matching the field on your contract
Where to get it
Issued by the field's examining body. If you lost the original, request a reissue from that body.
How to get it
- Photograph/scan the original, flat, all four corners visible
- Check the name matches your passport
- Not taken it yet? Ask your company about the next exam date
Notes
Moving to a DIFFERENT field? The old certificate does not carry over — you must pass the new field's exam.
- Japanese abilityProof you have enough Japanese for daily life and work. JFT-Basic is computer-based and offered many times a year in both Vietnam and Japan; the JLPT…See details
What this document is
Proof you have enough Japanese for daily life and work. JFT-Basic is computer-based and offered many times a year in both Vietnam and Japan; the JLPT runs only twice a year, so most people take JFT-Basic.
What it must show
- JFT-Basic: A2 level (pass)
- or JLPT N4 / N3 / N2 / N1
- or the certificate of successful completion of Technical Intern Training (ii) (waiver)
- Name matches your passport
Where to get it
JFT-Basic: the Japan Foundation (jfstandard.jp). JLPT: jlpt.jp. Lost it? Request a reissue from the organiser.
How to get it
- Photograph/scan the original certificate or score report
- Not taken it? Register for JFT-Basic (CBT, many sittings)
- Former trainee? Request the completion certificate from your old supervising organisation
Notes
The Technical Intern Training (ii) waiver applies only when the trainee occupation MATCHES the specified field you're moving into — a mismatch means taking both exams.
🎓Training completion proofThis paper replaces the exams: completing Technical Intern Training (ii) properly (roughly 2 years 10 months or more, no absconding, no violations)…See details
What this document is
This paper replaces the exams: completing Technical Intern Training (ii) properly (roughly 2 years 10 months or more, no absconding, no violations) waives the Japanese requirement — and if your trade matches the Tokutei field, the skills exam as well. This document is the proof of that “successful completion”.
What it must show
- ① The evaluation record — form 参考様式第1-2号, signed by the supervising organisation or the training company
- or ② the Grade 3 trade-skills test certificate, PRACTICAL part
- or ③ a written statement on the training record
- The training period must be long enough (completing level ii ≈ 2 years 10 months or more)
- The trade (職種) and task (作業) on the paper must match item 20 you filled at the 📜 station
Where to get it
Request it from your supervising organisation (監理団体) or your former training company. The Grade 3 certificate is issued by the prefectural vocational-ability development association — ask them for a reissue if lost.
How to get it
- Message the supervising organisation: “Please issue the evaluation record (form 1-2) for my move to Tokutei.”
- Already hold the Grade 3 certificate? Just photograph it — no request needed
- Capture all four corners: your name, trade, issue date and seal must be readable
- If they refuse, explain it is a document Immigration requires; still refused → contact the law office in the app
Notes
⚠️ “Successful completion” is not the same as “I did some training”. Absconding, an interrupted contract, or not finishing level ii means NO waiver — you then take the exam route.

What this document is
Unpaid or late tax / pension / insurance is the most common reason Tokutei applications fail. If it happened, Immigration does NOT auto-refuse — but you must file an explanation saying why, and whether you have paid it up.
What it must show
- Not sure → get your record at the pension office (被保険者記録照会回答票); it shows everything
- Back-payment is possible for up to 2 years — pay up BEFORE filing
- If unsure, pick “Not sure” and the app prepares the explanation letter
Income certificate — latest yearCertificate of annual INCOME + municipal tax (課税証明書). This is the most recent version the city can issue: Reiwa 8 nendo · 2025 income. Immigration…See detailsWhat this document is
Certificate of annual INCOME + municipal tax (課税証明書). This is the most recent version the city can issue: Reiwa 8 nendo · 2025 income. Immigration reads this one to see the supporter's latest income.
What it must show
- Reiwa 8 nendo · 2025 income — shows total 2025 income and the municipal tax amount.
- You can get it if you had a 住民票 on 1/1/2026. If you were not in Japan that day the city cannot issue it — see the 🧭 station at the start.
- Low or no income still works: you get a 非課税証明書 (tax-exempt version), which Immigration accepts.
Where to get it
The city hall (shiyakusho) where you were REGISTERED AS A RESIDENT on 1/1/2026. Whichever city that was, that is where you apply — if you have moved, go back to the old city or request it by post.
How to get it
- Take your residence card (or My Number card) to the city hall
- State each fiscal year you need — read out the 令和 year shown above
- With a My Number card you can also use the kiosk in a convenience store, which is cheaper
Cost & time
About 300 yen per copy, issued the same day. Ask for all three at once (two income certificates + one tax-payment certificate) so you only make one trip.
Notes
This version is issued from about mid-May (if your tax is deducted from salary) or early June (if you pay it yourself). Before that the city only has the older version — Immigration understands this.
- Income certificate — fully-paid yearThe same 課税証明書 but one year older: Reiwa 7 nendo · 2024 income. It PAIRS with the tax-payment certificate so Immigration can match “income that year”…See details
What this document is
The same 課税証明書 but one year older: Reiwa 7 nendo · 2024 income. It PAIRS with the tax-payment certificate so Immigration can match “income that year” against “fully paid”. That is why you need two versions from different years.
What it must show
- Reiwa 7 nendo · 2024 income — the same fiscal year as the tax-payment certificate in the next station.
- Immigration requires the payment certificate to be the year whose instalments have all fallen due（全ての納期が経過している直近1年度分）. The newest year is still being deducted monthly, so the payment certificate is always one year behind the income certificate.
- Obtainable if you had a 住民票 on 1/1/2025. If you arrived after that date, skip this one.
- Get it while you are at the counter — an extra copy costs 300 yen; a missing one costs another trip.
Where to get it
The city hall (shiyakusho) where you were REGISTERED AS A RESIDENT on 1/1/2025. Whichever city that was, that is where you apply — if you have moved, go back to the old city or request it by post.
How to get it
- Take your residence card (or My Number card) to the city hall
- State each fiscal year you need — read out the 令和 year shown above
- With a My Number card you can also use the kiosk in a convenience store, which is cheaper
Cost & time
About 300 yen per copy, issued the same day. Ask for all three at once (two income certificates + one tax-payment certificate) so you only make one trip.
Notes
If one certificate shows BOTH the annual income and the payment status, Immigration accepts that single sheet — the official page says 「いずれか一方でかまいません」. Many cities print them together; just ask at the counter.

What this document is
Certificate that municipal tax has been PAID with no arrears (納税証明書). Use the Reiwa 7 nendo · 2024 income version — the same fiscal year as the income certificate in the station above.
What it must show
- Immigration defines this as the year whose instalments have all fallen due —「全ての納期が経過している直近1年度分」.
- Municipal tax for year N is paid over time: deducted from salary June N → May N+1, or in four instalments (June, Aug, Oct of N and Jan of N+1). The newest year is therefore always still in progress.
- Current version: Reiwa 7 nendo · 2024 income. Obtainable if you had a 住民票 on 1/1/2025.
- Newly arrived and that year does not exist for you → take the latest version (Reiwa 8 nendo · 2025 income); an outstanding balance is normal, only overdue amounts (滞納) hurt.
Where to get it
The city hall (shiyakusho) where you were REGISTERED AS A RESIDENT on 1/1/2025. Whichever city that was, that is where you apply — if you have moved, go back to the old city or request it by post.
How to get it
- Take your residence card (or My Number card) to the city hall
- State each fiscal year you need — read out the 令和 year shown above
- With a My Number card you can also use the kiosk in a convenience store, which is cheaper
Cost & time
About 300 yen per copy, issued the same day. Ask for all three at once (two income certificates + one tax-payment certificate) so you only make one trip.
Notes
If you have overdue tax you cannot get a “clean” certificate — pay it off first. Tax arrears weigh heavily in the assessment (素行不良). Switching to salary deduction (特別徴収) is the surest way to keep the certificate clean.
Payslips (last 3 months)The last 3 MONTHS' payslips (給与明細, kyuuyo-meisai) of the SPONSOR (you) — proving your CURRENT income. Especially needed when you're NEW to Japan /…See detailsWhat this document is
The last 3 MONTHS' payslips (給与明細, kyuuyo-meisai) of the SPONSOR (you) — proving your CURRENT income. Especially needed when you're NEW to Japan / just started working and don't yet have a full year of income, so you don't yet have income & tax certificates (課税/納税証明書).
What it must show
- 3 CONSECUTIVE, most recent months (one image per month)
- Clearly show the recipient's name + pay month + total received (支給額)
- The company-issued version (paper or printed from the payroll system)
Where to get it
Your company's HR / accounting department, or print it yourself from the company payroll system (給与明細 Web).
How to get it
- Request or print the payslips for the last 3 months
- Photograph each one clearly — one image per month (3 slots)
Cost & time
Free (issued by the company).
Notes
If you've worked in Japan for LESS than a year: you don't have 課税/納税証明書 yet → submit 3 months' payslips INSTEAD to prove income. If you already have the tax certificates, this is a supporting document for extra assurance.
Written reason — no tax certificateA letter explaining WHY you cannot submit the income and tax-payment certificates, with a promise to file them once issued. Without it the…See detailsWhat this document is
A letter explaining WHY you cannot submit the income and tax-payment certificates, with a promise to file them once issued. Without it the application simply looks incomplete; with it Immigration sees an anticipated case.
What it must show
- Standard Japanese administrative-letter layout: date (right) → bureau name + 殿 → writer's name/nationality/date of birth/address (right) → the title 理由書 → opening → 記 with numbered points → 以上.
- What the app writes for you: your arrival and registration dates · the 1 January assessment rule that means no tax was levied · the substitute documents (three payslips + certificate of employment) · a promise to file the certificate once issued.
- Print it and SIGN by hand next to your name. Letters to Immigration should be in Japanese — the app handles that.
- Check before printing: take the arrival date from the entry stamp in your passport, and the registration date from the BACK of your residence card (住居地記載日).
Where to get it
You make it yourself — use the “Download the letter (PDF)” button in this station.
How to get it
- Fill in the four boxes above
- Press “Download the letter (PDF)”
- Print on A4 and sign by hand
- File it right after the payslips
Cost & time
Free — one sheet of paper.
Notes
If a law office files for you they usually write this letter themselves — hand them the app's version so you don't have to explain everything again.
- National tax certificateThis is a TAX OFFICE (税務署) certificate about NATIONAL tax — quite different from the two municipal tax papers you get at city hall (payment…See details
What this document is
This is a TAX OFFICE (税務署) certificate about NATIONAL tax — quite different from the two municipal tax papers you get at city hall (payment certificate and taxation certificate). In Immigration's checklist it belongs to TABLE 2 (the accepting company's documents — the tax types even include corporate tax) rather than to Table 1 for the applicant. Table 1 mentions it only in a note under the withholding-slip item.
What it must show
- Needed only when: several withholding slips in one year + the last employer did no year-end adjustment
- You must file a tax return first, then request it
- Type “その3” (the no-arrears version), issued within 3 months
- If you are on a tax deferral, Immigration also asks for the “その1” version
Where to get it
The tax office (税務署) for your address — bring your residence card + My Number.
How to get it
- First check your withholding slips: how many did you get that year?
- Only one → you don't need this; skip the station
- Several + no year-end adjustment at the last employer → file a tax return, then at the tax office ask for the 納税証明書 form 3
- Can also be requested by post or via e-Tax
Notes
If you do submit it, it must show no arrears. Owe national tax → pay it off first; a certificate showing arrears is a near-certain refusal.

What this document is
Year-end tax withholding slip issued by your company (源泉徴収票, gensen) — proves your annual income. The version matching the current tax set is Reiwa 6 · 2024 income.
What it must show
- The gensen Reiwa 6 · 2024 income version
- Or recent months' payslips (kyuuyo-meisai)
Where to get it
Your company's HR / accounting department.
How to get it
- Withholding slip: issued by the company at year-end; if lost, ask for a reissue
- Payslips: get paper copies or print from the company payroll system
Notes
If you changed companies mid-year, get the withholding slip from your FORMER company too. ⏱️ NEWCOMER — DO YOU ALREADY HAVE THIS? The gensen is issued by the company after 年末調整 (year-end tax adjustment), around December / early the next year. ➊ You've worked through at least one year-end adjustment (year 2025 or earlier): you HAVE a gensen (令和7年分, 2025 income). ➋ Just arrived / just started working this year: you have NO gensen yet since you haven't been through a year-end adjustment → the first one comes out in around December 2026 – early 2027; while waiting, submit your last 3 MONTHS' PAYSLIPS instead to prove income.

What this document is
Immigration's official document list says the insurance and pension papers are required only IF you are enrolled in national health insurance / national pension. If your company enrols you in social insurance, Immigration checks that itself. This question lets the app show only what you actually need.
What it must show
- Check your payslip: lines for 健康保険 + 厚生年金 deducted → company-paid
- Card says 国民健康保険 and you pay at the city hall → self-paid
- Recently arrived / had months between jobs → pick “Both”
Notes
Pick “Both” if unsure — the app will prepare papers for the self-paid period. Extra papers are harmless; missing ones trigger follow-up requests.
National pensionImmigration checks whether you kept up national-pension payments while you were self-enrolled — the single most common reason Tokutei applications…See detailsWhat this document is
Immigration checks whether you kept up national-pension payments while you were self-enrolled — the single most common reason Tokutei applications fail. Many people skipped payments as a trainee or between jobs without realising.
What it must show
- ① The record enquiry reply (被保険者記録照会回答票)
- ② The payment record (納付Ⅱ) OR the last 24 months of receipts
- Mask the basic pension number
- Already filed within the past year with nothing changed → may be omitted
Where to get it
Your local pension office (年金事務所).
How to get it
- At the pension office say: “I'd like the 被保険者記録照会回答票 and 納付Ⅱ, please.”
- Bring your residence card + My Number (+ pension book if you have one)
- Free, usually issued same day
Notes
If you find unpaid months → pay them up FIRST, then request the documents (back-payment is possible for up to 2 years).
- Health insurance papersProves you were enrolled in and paid national health insurance during the self-paid period. Together with pension and tax, this is the trio…See details
What this document is
Proves you were enrolled in and paid national health insurance during the self-paid period. Together with pension and tax, this is the trio Immigration scrutinises most for Tokutei.
What it must show
- ① Myna Portal → print your insurance eligibility info, or copy the 資格確認書
- ② The payment certificate for the latest fiscal year (city hall)
- Mask the insurer number and member symbol/number
- If you have a payment deferral → add a copy of that notice
Where to get it
① Your phone (Myna Portal app) or what you already hold. ② Your city hall (national health insurance desk).
How to get it
- At the city hall say: “I'd like the national health insurance payment certificate, please.”
- Bring your residence card + My Number
- Usually ¥200–400, issued on the spot
Notes
If you filed these within the past year for an earlier application and nothing changed → they may be omitted.

Needed only if your record shows late or missed payments. Keep it short and honest: which period, the circumstances (job change, illness, didn't understand the system…), the date you paid it up, and a commitment to pay on time from now on.
What it must show
- Attach PROOF of back-payment (receipts) — more important than the explanation itself
- Date it and sign by hand
- Don't invent reasons — Immigration can cross-check pension records
Where to get it
You write it yourself (no fixed form). Support organisations usually have a template.
Notes
Filing before you have paid up is very risky — pay it off first, then file.

Japan has signed Memoranda of Cooperation (MOC) on Specified Skilled Workers with several countries. For those countries you must also complete a step on your own country's side; without it Immigration may ask for the paper and the review drags on.
What it must show
- 🇻🇳 Vietnam — a recommendation letter (推薦者表) from the overseas-labour authority
- 🇰🇭 Cambodia — the registration / confirmation paper issued by Cambodia's labour ministry
- 🇹🇭 Thailand — the Thai-side employment-contract notification procedure
- Foreign-language papers → attach a Japanese translation
Where to get it
Your OWN country's authorities, not a Japanese office: Vietnamese nationals in Japan go through the Embassy in Tokyo or the Consulates-General in Osaka and Fukuoka. The Japanese-side guidance page: moj.go.jp/isa → Specified Skilled Worker → bilateral agreements.
How to get it
- Ask the accepting company / registered support organisation FIRST — many have done this before and hold the templates
- Check the Immigration Services Agency's bilateral-agreement page for your country's current step
- Vietnamese nationals: prepare passport, residence card and employment contract, then contact the Embassy/Consulate per the instructions on their site
- Start early — going through a foreign authority usually takes weeks
Notes
The checklist marks this △ (only if applicable) — in many cases the accepting company already handled it when the contract was signed. Ask them before starting from scratch.

What this document is
The technical intern training programme is officially about taking the skills you learned back to your home country. In this declaration you state, in your own words, what skills you acquired and how you intend to use and pass them on. Substance matters, not style.
What it must show
- Form 参考様式第1-10号 from the Immigration Services Agency site
- Written in a language you understand (translated versions are provided)
- Your own HANDWRITTEN signature
- State the correct trade and the period you were a trainee
Where to get it
Download from the Immigration Services Agency site (Specified Skilled Worker reference forms). Support organisations usually keep bilingual copies.
Notes
If your traineeship ended irregularly (absconding, early return…), tell your support organisation honestly first — Immigration can see that history.

A résumé summarizing your education + work history up to now. Immigration uses it to cross-check against what you submitted last time.
What it must show
- List education + work experience by date
- Consistent with what you submitted to Immigration before
Where to get it
You write it yourself (forms sold at convenience stores / downloadable online).
How to get it
- Fill in a standard résumé form
- Check the dates match your previous documents
Notes
The key is that the dates do NOT contradict the documents you already submitted.

The remaining form fields you fill in yourself: current address, phone number, planned timing, how living costs are paid (shiben-houhou)…
What it must show
- Fill in exactly as your documents (address per the juuminhyo)
- The phone number must be reachable
How to get it
- The app will ask each field simply (later version)
- Check consistency with the documents you've submitted
Notes
Inconsistent information across documents easily leads to extra questions from the Bureau / a longer review.
