Hi everyone. I was offered a job in Japan....Tohoku region, and I'm okay with everything, 'cept for the Visa set up.

I have read everything on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan site, but I'm still a bit lost on the process needed to obtain a Certificate of Eligibility so that I can submit that (along with the other proper paper work) to obtain my actual Visa. To be honest, the COE is the only thing I'm lost on.

I know what I need on my end, but I didn't come across anything explaining what the employer is supposed to provide or all the steps involved in obtaining a COE on their end.

I was told that I could just let them handle everything, or I can get started on the Visa process earlier, which is what I prefer to do.
