What is the difference between an employment visa and a work visa in Japan?

The stay qualification of employment visa is a "special activity", which usually lasts for half a year and can be extended for half a year, and the longest time is one year. If you can't find a job after one year, you can only go back.

Employment visas can only be used for employment-related activities.

There are many qualifications for staying on a work visa, such as technology, translation, professor, etc. , and the time is generally medium and long, mostly in 1 to 5 years. For more than 3 years, you can be a guarantor and an inviter at the same time to apply for a visa to visit relatives and friends.

hope this helps
