The procedure for reporting a change in employment is a mandatory obligation with the Immigration Services Agency of Japan, applicable to foreign workers.
There are 3 methods to report: online, by mail, or in person at the Immigration Services Agency.
There are 2 occasions when you must report: when resigning from a job and when starting a new one, and it must be done within 14 days from the date of the change. ※ Special note: if you report before the official start date at the new company or before the official resignation date, the report will be invalid. You must report after the official date and within 14 days.
If you start a new job immediately after resigning, you can combine the resignation report and the new job report at the same time.
This article will guide you on how to notify Nyukan of your resignation or job change online.
