Japan jaane ke baaqi raaston ke liye 2026 mein Japan visa ki shartein se shuru karein. Yeh page ek raaste ke baare mein hai, Specified Skilled Worker, aur us ke restaurant wale field ke baare mein.
Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) visa kya hai?
SSW 19 aisi industries mein kaam karne ka visa hai jin mein workers ki kami hai, jaise mareezon aur buzurgon ki dekh bhaal (nursing care), tameer ka kaam (construction), kheti aur restaurants. Degree ki zaroorat nahi. Aapko us industry ka skills test aur Japanese test pass karna hota hai, ya us se mutalliq kaam mein Technical Intern Training (技能実習, gino jisshu) ka level 2 mukammal karna hota hai (Japan ki Immigration Services Agency (ISA) ka SSW ta’aruf, 2026-09-29 ko update hua).
SSW ke do level hain, Type 1 aur Type 2. Neeche Japanese ki shartein samajhne ke liye do paimane istemal hue hain:
- JLPT: Japanese-Language Proficiency Test, N5 (sab se aasaan) se N1 tak.
- CEFR: Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, zubaan ki salahiyat naapne ka European paimana, A1 (sab se aasaan) se C2 tak.
| SSW Type 1 (特定技能1号, tokutei ginou ichigo) | SSW Type 2 (特定技能2号, tokutei ginou nigo) | |
|---|---|---|
| Kis ke liye hai | Bunyadi hunar wale workers | Tajurba kaar workers aur team leaders |
| Industries | 19 | 11 |
| Kitna arsa reh sakte hain | Kul mila kar 5 saal tak (kuch cases mein 6) | Kul arse ki koi had nahi; har renewal par 6 mahine se 3 saal tak rehne ki ijazat milti hai |
| Family saath la sakte hain | Aam taur par ijazat nahi | Biwi ya shohar aur bachon ko la sakte hain |
| Kitni Japanese chahiye | A2 (taqreeban JLPT N4) | Food service mein abhi: JLPT N3 (taqreeban B1). 2027-04-01 se: har field mein B1 (taqreeban JLPT N3), Japan ke bahar se apply karne walon ke liye |
| Workers ki tadaad par had | Haan, har industry ke liye | Nahi |
Kya 2026 mein Japan ka SSW food service visa khula hai?
Aam qaidah yahi hai ke yeh band hai. 2026-04-13 ko ya us ke baad milne wali applications ke liye ISA aam taur par food service ke naye Certificates of Eligibility jaari nahi karti. Us ke page par in applications ke liye “aam qaidah yeh hai ke jaari nahi kiye jayenge” (原則不交付, gensoku fukofu) likha hai. Doosre visas se food service mein aane ki applications bhi aam taur par radd kar di jati hain. ISA ne dobara kholne ki koi date nahi di (ISA ka food service page, 2026-10-19, 2026-10-27 ko dobara parha gaya).
Certificate of Eligibility (COE) woh document hai jo Japan ke bahar rehne wale worker ko visa lene se pehle chahiye hota hai.
| Aapki surat-e-haal | ISA kya karti hai |
|---|---|
| Nayi COE application jo 2026-04-13 ko ya us ke baad mili | Aam taur par COE jaari nahi karti |
| COE application jo 2026-04-13 se pehle mili | Jagah milne par applications milne ki date ke hisaab se COE jaari karti hai; abhi 2026-02-06 tak milne wali applications ki baari aayi hai |
| 2026-04-13 se kisi doosre visa se food service mein aane ki application | Aam taur par application radd karti hai |
| Pehle se food service Type 1 worker hain aur employer badal rahe hain | Application mamool ke mutabiq process karti hai |
| Food service visa renew kar rahe hain | Application mamool ke mutabiq process karti hai |
ISA ke food service page ke mutabiq 2026-10-16 ko 7,361 purani COE applications par abhi faisla baqi tha. ISA ne applications milne ke mahine ke hisaab se 732, 1,825 aur 4,804 ki tadaad di hai; hum ne inhein jama kiya hai.
Type 1 skills test pehle Japan mein bhi hota tha aur Japan ke bahar bhi. Yeh test OTAFF leta hai. Us ne kheti ki ministry ki hidayat par 2026-03-27 ko isay rok diya. Dobara shuru hone ki koi date nahi di gayi. 2026-10-27 ko bhi OTAFF ke page par likha tha ke test band hai (OTAFF ka notice; OTAFF ka test page).
Japan ne SSW food service visa kyun band kiya?
Japan ne food service Type 1 workers ki tadaad par lagi had ki wajah se naye certificates jaari karna band kiya. March 2029 tak ke arse ke liye had 50,000 workers hai. ISA ke mutabiq February 2026 ke aakhir mein taqreeban 46,000 workers the, aur us ne 2026-04-13 se naye certificates rokne ka faisla kiya (ISA ka notice, 2026-03-27). July 2026 ke aakhir tak yeh tadaad 49,290 ho gayi (ISA ki workers ki had wali table).
Kya Japan mein ab bhi food service SSW Type 2 mil sakta hai?
Jo log pehle se Japan ke restaurants mein kaam kar rahe hain, un ke liye food service SSW Type 2 ka raasta abhi bhi khula hai. Is ka test ab bhi sirf Japan mein hota hai. OTAFF ne yeh shartein di hain (OTAFF ka Type 2 page):
- Type 2 test pass karein. Is mein Japanese huroof ke upar unhein parhne mein madad dene wale chhote huroof (furigana) nahi hote. Sirf aapka employer test ki booking kar sakta hai.
- JLPT N3 ya us se upar (taqreeban B1) pass karein.
- Kisi license wale restaurant mein staff ki nigrani ka kam az kam 2 saal ka tajurba ho, jaise deputy manager ke taur par.
ISA ke SSW aankron ke mutabiq June 2026 ke aakhir mein 2,046 logon ke paas food service Type 2 tha.
Japan mein SSW ki kin fields mein ab bhi jagah hai?
July 2026 ke aakhir mein food service ke ilawa SSW ki har field workers ki apni had ke 80% se neeche thi. Tamam fields mila kar 432,016 logon ke paas SSW Type 1 tha, jo 805,700 ki kul had ka 53.6% hai (ISA ki workers ki had wali table, July 2026 ka aakhir).
| Field | March 2029 tak workers ki had | Workers, July 2026 | Had ka kitna hissa istemal hua |
|---|---|---|---|
| Food service (restaurants) | 50,000 | 49,290 | 98.6%, band |
| Khane peene ki cheezein banana | 133,500 | 101,922 | 76.3% |
| Tameer ka kaam | 76,000 | 52,366 | 68.9% |
| Mareezon aur buzurgon ki dekh bhaal | 126,900 | 81,436 | 64.2% |
| Kheti | 73,300 | 44,952 | 61.3% |
| Hawai safar se mutalliq kaam (aviation) | 4,900 | 2,823 | 57.6% |
| Gaariyon ki dekh bhaal aur marammat | 9,400 | 5,332 | 56.7% |
| Jahaaz banana aur samundari kaam | 23,400 | 11,693 | 50.0% |
| Machhli pakarne ka kaam | 14,800 | 4,988 | 33.7% |
| Imaraton ki safai | 32,200 | 10,514 | 32.7% |
| Factory mein products banana | 199,500 | 63,032 | 31.6% |
| Hotels aur inns (rehne ki jagah) | 14,800 | 2,771 | 18.7% |
| Truck, bus aur taxi chalana | 22,100 | 703 | 3.2% |
| Railway | 2,900 | 73 | 2.5% |
| Lakri ki industry | 4,500 | 99 | 2.2% |
| Jangalon se mutalliq kaam (forestry) | 900 | 19 | 2.1% |
| Chadron aur tauliyon ki supply (linen supply) | 4,300 | 3 | 0.1% |
| Maal rakhne aur bhejne ke godaam (logistics warehouses) | 11,400 | abhi koi nahi | |
| Istemal shuda cheezon ko dobara kaam ke qabil banana (resource recycling) | 900 | abhi koi nahi |
- Field mein jagah ho tab bhi aapko employer dhoondna hoga.
- Hamari samajh ke mutabiq, restaurant ke kaam ke sab se qareeb field khane peene ki cheezein banane ki hai. Is ke tests abhi bhi ho rahe hain (OTAFF).
- Mareezon aur buzurgon ki dekh bhaal, bus, taxi aur railway ki jobs mein Japanese ki izafi shartein hain (ISA ka SSW ta’aruf).
- SSW holders, Type 1 aur Type 2, aur 2026-06-30 ko har doosra status Japan visa ke aankre 2026 mein ginay gaye hain.
Japan ke SSW work visa ke liye kitni Japanese chahiye?
SSW Type 1 ki zyada tar fields mein A2 Japanese (taqreeban JLPT N4) chahiye. Agar aapne us se mutalliq kaam mein Technical Intern Training ka level 2 mukammal kiya hai, to Japanese test dene ki zaroorat nahi.
Food service Type 2 mein abhi JLPT N3 ya us se upar (taqreeban B1) chahiye. 2027-04-01 se Japan ke bahar se apply karne walon ko har field mein Type 2 ke liye B1 (taqreeban JLPT N3) chahiye hoga.
| Raasta | Kitni Japanese chahiye | Kaun sa saboot maana jata hai |
|---|---|---|
| Type 1, zyada tar fields | A2 (taqreeban JLPT N4) | JFT-Basic (Japan Foundation Test for Basic Japanese) mein A2, ya JLPT N4 ya us se upar |
| Type 2, food service abhi | JLPT N3 ya us se upar (taqreeban B1) | JLPT N3 ya us se upar |
| Type 2, har field, 2027-04-01 se Japan ke bahar se apply karne walon ke liye | B1 (taqreeban JLPT N3) | ISA ne abhi nahi bataya |
| Employment for Skill Development (育成就労, ikusei shuro), 2027-04-01 se | Shuru karne ke liye A1 (JLPT N5); SSW mein jaane ke liye A2 (JLPT N4) | Ek test, ya kaam se pehle Japanese course |

JLPT N3 aur B1 poori tarah ek doosre ke barabar nahi hain. December 2025 se JLPT ki score reports mein N3 pass karne wale ka level B1 sirf tab likha jata hai jab us ke 180 mein se 104 ya zyada points hon. Is se kam points par N3 pass karne wale ka level A2 likha jata hai (JLPT ki CEFR ke baare mein maloomat).
Skills tests bhi Japanese mein hote hain. Type 1 food service test mein Japanese huroof ko parhne mein madad dene wale chhote huroof hote the; Type 2 test mein nahi hote (OTAFF ka Type 1 page). Har visa ke liye Japanese level jaanne ke liye parhein 2026 mein Japan visa ke liye Japanese ki shartein.
2027-04-01 ko Japan mein food service ke liye kya badlega?
Japan ke bahar se apply karne walon ke liye Type 2 ki Japanese ki shartein badlengi, aur training ka ek naya raasta Technical Intern Training ki jagah le lega.
- Type 2 ki Japanese: Food service mein abhi JLPT N3 ya us se upar (taqreeban B1) chahiye. 2027-04-01 se Japan ke bahar se apply karne walon ko har field mein B1 (taqreeban JLPT N3) chahiye hoga. Jo log pehle se Japan mein hain, un ke liye ISA ne date tay nahi ki (ISA ke 2027 ke zubaan ke rules).
- Training ka raasta: Abhi Technical Intern Training ka raasta hai. 2027-04-01 se is ki jagah Employment for Skill Development aa jayega. Is mein 3 saal kaam aur training saath chalte hain, aur is ke baad SSW Type 1 ka raasta milta hai. Food service is ki fields mein se ek hai, jis mein April 2027 se March 2029 tak workers ki alag had 5,300 hai. Pehle 2 saal workers apni marzi se employer nahi badal sakte (kheti ki ministry ki food service policy, 2026-01-26).
Hamari samajh ke mutabiq, jo shakhs April 2027 mein yeh training shuru karega woh taqreeban April 2030 mein isay mukammal karega, yani March 2029 mein SSW ki maujooda had ka arsa khatam hone ke baad. Abhi kisi source ne nahi bataya ke us ke baad food service mein workers ki had kya hogi.
Japan ke food service visa ki taaza surat-e-haal khud kaise check karein?
Visa ke rules ke liye ISA ka food service page aur test ki taaza khabron ke liye OTAFF ka test page dekhein. Dono Japanese mein hain.
- ISA ka food service page: Title mein page jaari hone ki date dekhein, jo abhi 2026-10-19 hai. Yeh bhi dekhein ke kis date tak milne wali applications ke COE jaari ho rahe hain; abhi yeh date 2026-02-06 hai.
- OTAFF ka test page: Woh notice dhoondein jis ka matlab hai “yeh test abhi band hai”.
Apply karne se pehle: Is page par aam maloomat di gayi hain, qanooni mashwara nahi. In sharton ko poora karne se visa ki guarantee nahi milti; har case ka faisla ISA karti hai. Rules badalte rehte hain, is liye jis din apply karein us din ISA ka food service page check karein. Apne case ke liye Japan mein registered wakeel (弁護士, bengoshi) ya immigration ki applications jama karane ki ijazat rakhne wale administrative scrivener (申請取次行政書士, shinsei toritsugi gyoseishoshi) se poochhein.
