Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Are the foreign nationals your company employs actually who they claim to be?

Huh?

What are you talking about?

That's what you're thinking, right?

 

I think that once we Japanese accept something, we don't give it a second thought, but,

This means that the foreign worker may be staying in the country illegally, such as by overstaying their visa.

 

You're probably thinking, "Why would you say something like that?!"

To be honest,

I didn't think that way either until the interns ran away, lol.

 

One person appears to be in Saku City, Nagano Prefecture, and the other somewhere in Aichi Prefecture.

What's more, it means they're doing some kind of work.

Also, one person's visa has already expired, and the other's is set to expire next spring.

Without a visa, we can’t guarantee employment or act as a guarantor, but there are still companies that will hire you.

Why is that?

That's because you'll be asked to present your Residence Card. (I'm not doubting you.)

Or it’s because they’re switching jobs from an underground broker to an underground operator.

 

Shady operators probably take that into account and would accept it, but there are business owners who aren't aware of that.

Some companies believe that as long as you have a Residence Card, there’s no problem.

If a company hires someone without knowing this, the penalties will be absolutely astronomical.

Offense of Facilitating Illegal Employment This means that employers will be penalized if they hire foreign nationals knowing that they are ineligible to work, or if they hire them without properly verifying their status, even if they were unaware of their ineligibility. Not only will the individual who was working illegally be punished, but the company will also be subject to penalties.   [Penalties for Foreign Nationals Engaged in Illegal Employment] ● Offense of illegal entry: Imprisonment or confinement for up to 3 years, or a fine of up to 3 million yen ● Offense of engaging in unauthorized activities outside the scope of one’s status: Imprisonment with or without hard labor for up to one year, or a fine of up to 2 million yen (Hiring Foreign Workers: From Support Net)

So, I'd like you to look into this once, and

Please be sure to check the numbers and other details on the website below.

 

Immigration Services Agency

Inquiry Regarding the Expiration of Residence Card Numbers, etc.

How to Read the "Residence Card" and "Special Permanent Resident Certificate"

 

Also, I’d like you to install card readers at the site so that you can verify residents’ cards.

Since I think card readers are now in use due to CCUS, I’d really like the general contractor, in particular, to implement this.

 

There's an app on the Immigration Services Agency of Japan's website, and you can easily check whether your status is normal or abnormal by using it.

You can find a link to download the app above.

What if you found one at the scene!?

Let's just ignore it for now!

The reason for this is that if they sense you, they'll run away.

To make sure I don't let it slip by, I'll just ignore it. (Pretending not to notice)

 

And while I was working on-site,

Regional Immigration Bureau

 

Please give us a call!

And let's make sure to put this information to good use so they can be arrested.

Naturally, the companies that employ them are also included.

I think companies like that should just disappear, so I want them to handle this properly.

ThatBonus of 50,000 yen or less as a special offer...will appear.

There will be even more in the future.

I think the number of technical interns who don't return to their home countries will increase.

Absolutely!

That's because, even during internships, there are always a certain number of people whose conduct raises concerns.

However, you won't know until you actually try the job, and we'll let people like that go after three years.

We'll give you a few months' notice before asking you to leave after three years.

In that case, there’s plenty of time to run away, so I guess they’ll run away, huh?

Or change jobs.

Well, the quality of Vietnamese trainees in particular has dropped sharply over the past few years, so please be careful of Vietnamese trainees who exhibit poor behavior.

People might accuse me of racism, but this is just my impression from being on the front lines.

 

Even though companies spend a considerable amount of money to bring people to Japan,

We want them to learn these skills and then return home to put them to use in their own countries, but,

After all, most of them come to Japan just for the money.

It's the Japanese Dream, after all.

Even so, Japan is getting by.

That’s exactly why I want them to return to their home countries and pass on their skills.

 

See you later.

 

Card readers these days are super convenient.
