"It's dangerous to assume 'It's the same company, so it'll definitely be fine'"
Even if you haven't changed jobs, there's a risk that your renewal might be denied due to changes in job duties or the company's financial situation.
Easily overlooked! 3 Key Review Points
Point ① Have your job duties changed?
Be careful with changes due to career advancement.
If you become a pure "manager", you might no longer be eligible for a technical visa.
Countermeasures
Confirm with a "Certificate of Eligibility for Employment" before making changes.
Point ② Is your company's situation sound?
- Significant deficits or insolvency
- Non-enrollment in social insurance, unpaid taxes
*Corporate legal violations are a significant negative factor in renewal reviews.
Point ③ Is your own residence status good?
- Fulfillment of tax obligations
- Notification of address changes
- Conduct (traffic violations, etc.)
If there are no issues with all three points, it will be smoothly approved as a "simple renewal."
If you have any concerns, consult an expert.
