If a non-JET spouse wants to arrange a job before coming to Japan, the work visa for the spouse must be obtained prior to entering Japan. The company which is making the job offer must first provide a Certificate of Eligibility which is required in order to obtain this type of visa. If a non-JET spouse wants to arrange work after entering Japan, he or she can apply at the local immigration office for a provision that permits the spouse to work a maximum of 20 hours a week. The JET Programme does not assist non-JET spouses in finding employment or in getting work visas.
