Japan Gijinkoku (技人国) Visa Guide for Nepali Bachelor Graduates
Japan Gijinkoku (技人国) Visa Guide for Nepali Bachelor Graduates
This article is specially prepared for Nepali students and workers who have completed a Bachelor degree in Nepal and want to work in Japan using the Gijinkoku Visa (技術・人文知識・国際業務). Many people are confused about the word 仕事内容（ないよう / naiyō – job content）, so here we explain clearly in English with Nepali + Japanese mix.
✅ What is Gijinkoku (技人国) Visa?
Gijinkoku = 技術・人文知識・国際業務
It is a professional work visa in Japan for people who have:
- Bachelor degree or higher
- Skilled knowledge
- Office / technical / international work
👉 This visa is NOT for physical labor (simple work). It is for brain work (office, technical, management, language, IT, design, etc.).
Nepali ma bhanda:
技人国 भिसा भनेको जापानमा आफ्नो डिग्री र सीप प्रयोग गरेर अफिस स्तरको व्यावसायिक काम गर्न पाइने भिसा हो, कारखानाको साधारण मजदुरी जस्तो कामका लागि यो भिसा हुँदैन।
✅ What does 仕事内容（ないよう / Naiyou） mean?
仕事内容（naiyou） = Job Content / Work Details
Immigration hercha:
- Tapai le Japan ma exact k kaam garnu huncha
- Tyo kaam tapai ko Bachelor degree sanga match huncha ki hudaina
👉 Degree + Job उस्तै नामिलेको खण्डमा तपाइको COE तुरुन्त रिजेक्ट हुने सम्भावना हुन्छ |
Example:
- IT degree → System Engineer
- Management degree → Office staff, sales planning
- Hotel degree → Hotel operation, planning, management
✅ What kind of jobs are allowed under 技人国? (कुन काम गर्न मिल्छ?)
Under the Gijinkoku (技術・人文知識・国際業務) visa, Japan allows only professional and skilled jobs, not simple labor. Immigration focuses on your 仕事内容（ないよう / job content） and checks whether your work matches your Bachelor degree and experience. Below are the main categories of jobs you can do with this visa, explained in English with Nepali in brackets for easy understanding.
🔹 技術 – Technology Jobs (प्राविधिक / टेक्निकल काम)
These are technical and IT-related positions where you use specialized knowledge.
Examples:
- System Engineer (システムエンジニア – सिस्टम बनाउने इन्जिनियर)
- Programmer (プログラマー – सफ्टवेयर बनाउने काम)
- Web Developer (ウェब साइट डिजाइन तथा विकास)
- Network Engineer (नेटवर्क व्यवस्थापन गर्ने इन्जिनियर)
- CAD Designer (डिजाइन बनाउने टेक्निकल स्टाफ)
In these jobs, you work with systems, data, software, and machines. Immigration expects you to do planning, development, testing, and management, not simple clicking work.
आईटी डिग्री भएको व्यक्तिले जापानमा प्रणाली विकास गर्ने, व्यवस्थापन गर्ने र सुधार गर्ने किसिमको काम गर्नुपर्छ।
🔹 人文知識 – Humanities Jobs (अफिस / म्यानेजमेन्ट सम्बन्धी काम)
These jobs focus on office work, business operations, and management skills.
Examples:
- Office Staff (事務 – अफिसको कागजी काम)
- Sales Planning (営業企画 – बिक्री योजना बनाउने काम)
- Marketing Staff (マーケटिङ तथा प्रचार गर्ने काम)
- Accounting (経理 – हिसाब–किताब गर्ने काम)
- Human Resources (人事 – कर्मचारी व्यवस्थापन गर्ने काम)
Here, you do planning, documentation, communication, data analysis, and company management tasks. You are not allowed to do only physical work like carrying boxes.
बीबीए, बिजनेस तथा म्यानेजमेन्ट अध्ययन गरेका व्यक्तिहरूले जापानमा अफिस स्तरका व्यावसायिक काम गर्न सक्छन्।
🔹 国際業務 – International Services (अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय सेवा सम्बन्धी काम)
These jobs use language and cross-cultural skills.

- Language Teacher (語学教師 – भाषा पढाउने काम)

You must handle foreign customers, documents, and communication between Japan and other countries.
जापानी र अंग्रेजी भाषा राम्रो भएको व्यक्तिले अनुवाद गर्ने, पढाउने तथा विदेशी ग्राहक सम्हाल्ने काम गर्न सक्छ।
🔹 Hotel, Tourism & Service Planning (होटेल तथा सेवा व्यवस्थापन)
If you studied hotel or tourism, you can work in planning and management roles, not just cleaning.
Examples:
- Hotel Operation Staff (ホテル運営 – होटल सञ्चालन व्यवस्थापन)
- Front Desk Planning (フロント企画 – रिसेप्सन योजना बनाउने काम)
- Customer Service Manager (接客管理 – ग्राहक सेवा व्यवस्थापन)

Your role must include customer handling, scheduling, reporting, and management.
होटेल म्यानेजमेन्ट अध्ययन गरेका व्यक्तिले कोठा सफा गर्ने मात्र होइन, प्रणाली र कर्मचारी व्यवस्थापन गर्ने काम गर्नुपर्छ।
🔹 What Immigration really checks (इमिग्रेसन के हेर्छ?)
Japan Immigration checks three main things:
- Degree Match (डिग्री मिल्छ कि मिल्दैन)
- 仕事内容 Clarity (कामको विवरण स्पष्ट छ कि छैन)
- Salary Level (तलब स्थिर छ कि छैन)
If your job content looks like simple labor, your COE or visa can be rejected.
学歴と仕事内容が一致していないと許可されません。
शिक्षा (डिग्री) र कामको विवरण नमिलेमा अनुमति दिइँदैन।
🔹 Jobs NOT allowed under 技人国 (नमिल्ने काम)
Even if company says yes, Immigration does not allow:
- Factory labor (कारखानाको साधारण काम)
- Cleaning only (सफा गर्ने मात्र काम)
- Dish washing (भाँडा माझ्ने काम)
- Construction labor (निर्माण मजदुरी)
- Kitchen helper only (भान्साको साधारण सहयोगी)
These belong to 単純労働 (たんじゅんろうどう – simple labor) and are not accepted for Gijinkoku visa.
🔹 Final Point (अन्तिम कुरा)
Gijinkoku visa is for people who use their brain and skills, not only hands. If you want success, always prepare your 仕事内容（naiyou） clearly and match it with your education.
शिक्षा, सीप र कामको विवरण स्पष्ट भएमा 技人国 भिसा प्राप्त हुने सम्भावना धेरै उच्च हुन्छ।
❌ What jobs are NOT allowed?
Under 技人国 visa, you cannot do:
- Simple Factory labor
- Cleaning

Japanese ma:
