活動制限のある就労系在留資格

The above-mentioned work visas do not permit so-called simple labour. Although there is no clear definition of simple labour, it refers to work that does not require a professional or technical background, such as education or work experience. The following types of work are considered by the Immigration Bureau to be simple labour.

現場業務・単純労働とみなされる職種例
