バングラデシュから日本へ行く方法と費用（2026年版）：合法ルート別の比較

バングラデシュから日本へ行く費用は？全ルート早見表

Japan has no general 'labour visa' that anyone can buy. You can only go legally to study, as a Specified Skilled Worker, as a technical intern (being replaced by Employment for Skill Development), or as a degree-holding professional with a job offer. Every figure below is an estimate as of October 2026, built from official fees and typical market prices; your exact number depends on the school, employer and city.

ルート1: 日本語学校経由の留学ビザ

This is the most common way Bangladeshis go to Japan, and the only route that does not need a job offer or a skills test. It fits HSC / Alim / Diploma holders (or graduates), roughly under 28, whose family can fund the first year and show a sponsor's income and savings. You study Japanese for 1–2 years, can work up to 28 hours a week, then move on to a senmon gakko, university or a job.

• School tuition and admission for year one: about 5.5–7.5 lakh BDT, paid to the school after the COE is issued.
• Application and screening fees, dormitory deposit, Japanese course in Bangladesh, translation: together roughly 1.2–2.2 lakh BDT.
• Visa: no consular fee for Bangladeshi nationals; VFS charges Tk 1,900 per study application. Air ticket Dhaka to Tokyo/Osaka: 60,000–90,000 BDT one way.
• Total: about 9–11 lakh BDT for year one plus the ticket. The full item-by-item table is in our cost of studying in Japan guide.

ルート2: 特定技能（SSW）：日本の就労ビザにいくらかかる？

SSW is the main legal way to work in Japan without a degree. You need to be 18 or older, pass a Japanese test (JFT-Basic at A2 or JLPT N4) and the skills test for your sector, then get a job offer from a Japanese employer, who applies for your COE. Bangladesh and Japan signed the SSW Memorandum of Cooperation on 27 August 2019, so recruitment must go through approved channels. The sectors include caregiving, food service, construction, agriculture, manufacturing, building cleaning and hospitality, and in 2026 the Immigration Services Agency added linen supply, logistics warehousing and resource circulation to its list.

• Legitimate total: roughly 2–4 lakh BDT including the Japanese course and any agency service charge written in your contract.
• Salary must equal a Japanese worker's in the same job: typically ¥180,000–250,000 a month before deductions.
• Under SSW rules the worker may not be made to pay a deposit or sign a penalty contract, and the cost of the support the employer must provide is the employer's, not yours.
• Age limit: the law sets 18 as the minimum and no maximum, but employers' circulars often ask for roughly 18–35.

ルート3: 技能実習と新制度「育成就労」

The Technical Intern Training Program (TITP) is how most government-channel workers have gone to Japan so far. Bangladesh's Ministry of Expatriates' Welfare and Japan signed the TITP Memorandum of Cooperation on 29 January 2018: only sending organisations approved by the ministry may send interns, and they may not hold trainees' money as a deposit or impose penalty contracts. Japan is now replacing TITP: under Law No. 60 of 2024, the Employment for Skill Development system (育成就労) starts on 1 April 2027.

• Real example of the government channel: BOESL's circular of 2 September 2026 for female nursing caregiver interns asked for SSC or higher, JLPT N4 / JFT-Basic, age 18–35; a 3-year contract at ¥176,244 a month (about Tk 1,36,000 by BOESL's conversion); housing provided but utilities and food paid by the worker; flights both ways paid by the company.
• BOESL's charge in that circular: Tk 56,350 by pay order, covering pre- and post-selection training, management, emigration clearance, the Wage Earners' Welfare fee, smart card and advance tax. The visa is filed by the candidate at VFS.
• Under Employment for Skill Development, no Japanese is required to enter, but before starting work you must pass an A1-level test or finish a 100+ hour course; the stay is generally 3 years, aiming at SSW-1 level.
• Fee cap from April 2027: a sending organisation may charge the worker at most 2 months' base salary; anything above that must be paid by the Japanese side. At a ¥176,000 salary that is about ¥352,000 in total.
• Changing employers becomes possible at your own request after 1–2 years (depending on the sector), within the same job category and under conditions. Interns already in Japan on 1 April 2027 continue under their approved plans.

ルート4: 大卒者向けの専門職就労ビザ

The Engineer / Specialist in Humanities / International Services status needs a bachelor's degree (or a Japanese senmon diploma) related to the job and an offer from a Japanese company, which applies for your COE in Japan. The money side is simple: no tuition, no test fees, usually just the ticket, documents and your first month's living costs, and many companies help with relocation. The hard part is getting the offer from Bangladesh: in practice it happens mostly in IT with N3–N2 Japanese, which is why many graduates take the student route first and job-hunt from inside Japan.

• Upfront cost if hired directly: about 1–1.5 lakh BDT (ticket 60,000–90,000, documents, VFS Tk 1,900, first-month buffer).
• COE processing in Japan usually takes 1–3 months; the visa itself is then issued at the Embassy in Dhaka via VFS.
• This is the only work route that allows your spouse and children from day one, with no time cap.

政府ルートで日本へ: BOESL・BMET・青年開発局が実際に担う役割

'Sorkari-bhabe' (through the government) is the safest way to work in Japan and the cheapest, but it is not a separate visa. The government bodies recruit, train or clear you for the same SSW and intern statuses described above, and seats are limited to what Japanese employers request.

偽の「日本就労ビザ」勧誘: 正規の費用とはどういうものか

Japan's rules are written to stop workers paying their way in. Under TITP, approved sending organisations must publish how their fees are calculated and may not take deposits; under SSW, deposits and penalty contracts are banned and the employer pays for mandatory support; from April 2027 the Employment for Skill Development system caps the worker's share at 2 months' base salary. So when someone quotes many lakhs for 'Japan', the money is not going to Japan's system: it is going into a broker's pocket.

1. 'Company visa', 'free visa' or 'work permit visa' for unskilled work with no test: Japan has no such status. Every legal work route needs a COE issued by Japanese Immigration for a named employer.
2. Going on a tourist visa and 'converting' it to work: working on a short-term visa is illegal and leads to deportation and a re-entry ban.
3. A student visa sold as a 'job visa' ('study is just on paper, you will work full time'): students may work only 28 hours a week, and overwork is a common reason for losing the visa at renewal.
4. Cash payments, no receipt, 'pay half now and half after the visa', or a request to hand over your passport or a blank cheque as 'security'.
5. An agency that cannot show a BMET recruiting licence number, or claims to be BOESL's agent: BOESL states it has no agents or sub-agents.
