よくある質問
Is SSW better than a student visa for going to Japan from Bangladesh?
Neither is 'better' — SSW is cheaper and pays a full salary immediately but is capped at 5 years (SSW-1) with no family; the student route costs more up front but leads to degrees, an uncapped work visa, family and permanent residency. Choose by age, budget and 5-year goal.
Can a student visa be changed to a work visa in Japan?
Yes. After graduating from a senmon gakko or university with a job offer you apply for a Change of Status to Engineer/Specialist; language-school graduates can change to SSW after passing the tests. You apply inside Japan without returning home.
Can I bring my family on an SSW visa?
Not on SSW-1. SSW-2, available in most sectors after passing an advanced skills test, allows a spouse and children and has no time limit.
How much does the SSW process cost from Bangladesh?
Far less than study: Japanese and skills-test preparation, exam fees (JFT-Basic about ¥7,000 equivalent; skills tests vary), medical, passport and documents — typically 2–4 lakh BDT in total. The employer pays no salary deductions for recruitment under Japanese law; avoid agents demanding 10+ lakh.
