Aidem Global, operated by Aidem Inc. (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Ryo Kabayama), a comprehensive human resources information service company, will hold a free online seminar for companies hiring foreign nationals on the latest trends in stricter scrutiny of "Technical Intern/Skilled Worker" visas from 2026 onwards and measures for responding with "Specified Skills."

This seminar will provide an easy-to-understand explanation of the latest trends in stricter scrutiny of "Technical Intern/Skilled Worker" (Gijinkoku) visas expected from 2026 onwards, focusing on residency status risks that companies should be aware of and the criteria for distinguishing between simple labor and specialized work. It will also cover points for stably hiring and employing foreign nationals by organizing information on the possibility of continuing the Gijinkoku visa, decisions on switching to "Specified Skills," and practical response measures.

Seminar Highlights

Stricter scrutiny for renewals and residency status checks of "Technical Intern/Skilled Worker" (Gijinkoku) visas can significantly impact companies hiring foreign nationals. Particularly in the food service, accommodation, and manufacturing industries, actual job duties are sometimes judged as "close to simple labor," leading to an increasing number of voices saying, "It won't pass like it did last year; we don't know what kind of work qualifies for a Gijinkoku visa or whether we should switch to "Specified Skills." For such companies, this seminar will provide an easy-to-understand explanation from a practical perspective while organizing the latest trends in stricter Gijinkoku visa scrutiny from 2026 onwards.

Amidst the ongoing changes in foreign employment and residency status systems, please take this opportunity to organize response measures that companies should take in an era where "doing things the same way as last year won't work," and consider the optimal hiring and residency status operations for your company.
