Japan - Engineer Visa - ITPEC FE
Hi everyone,
I’m planning to move to Japan for an IT role and wanted some guidance.
I have 7 years of IT work experience in India, but my degree is a BA, not IT/computer science related.
From what I understand, for Japan’s IT work visa requirements, applicants generally need either a relevant degree or 10 years of relevant work experience. Since I don’t meet either condition yet, I came across the ITPEC Fundamental Information Technology Engineer Examination, which seems to be recognized as an alternative route.
I’m currently preparing to take the FE exam in Bangkok because it is available in English there.
Has anyone here taken this route or used ITPEC FE for a Japan IT visa/job application? Is this a valid path, and is there anything else I should be aware of before going ahead?
Any advice would be appreciated.
