Key Points
- Japan will extend Myanmar nationals’ work eligibility from three to six months due to OWIC issuance delays caused by labor reforms and a recent earthquake
Certificate of Eligibility Extension
Japan will extend the validity of the Certificate of Eligibility for Work from three to six months for Myanmar nationals due to delays in issuing Overseas Working Identification Cards (OWIC).
