Japan grants numerous benefits to Vietnamese specific skilled workers
Specific skilled workers in Japan will enjoy benefits in line with the country’s immigration law, labor law and other related regulations.
Vietnamese workers with specific skills in Japan will enjoy numerous benefits in line with the country’s immigration law, according to a memorandum of cooperation (MoC) between Vietnam and Japan as the Northeast Asian country is facing a shortage of workforce.
The MoC was signed by Vietnam’s Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA) and four Japanese agencies in Tokyo, on July 1.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc and his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe attended the signing ceremony of the MoC, inked by the MOLISA’s Minister Dao Ngoc Dung and Japanese Minister of Justice Yamashi Takashi.
The MoC is a basic legal framework for Japan to receive Vietnamese workers under Japan’s “specific skilled workers” program.
Accordingly, the Japanese side will only accept specific skilled workers from Vietnam after they complete necessary procedures in accordance with Vietnamese law, which enables them to enter a “recognized list” of the MOLISA.
The workers must be sent from organizations and enterprises licensed by the MOLISA. Vietnamese citizens currently residing in Japan are directly recruited by Japanese employers.
The MoC said unqualified Vietnamese residing in Japan are banned to take part in skill testing activities in the country, adding that the Japanese side will apply suitable measures to prevent Vietnamese guest students from changing their residential status to work in Japan.
The MoC also stipulates clearly that specific skilled workers in Japan will enjoy benefits in line with the country’s immigration law, labor law and other related regulations.
Besides, they will have other rights related to Japanese and other skills training fees, travel allowance, including air tickets to Vietnam after ending the contract.
