Overseas employment agencies need to make submission on U-Turn list for sending workers to Japan, says Safe Migration

Safe Migration said overseas employment agencies will need to submit U-Turn or non U-Turn list after making amendments.

For the financial year of 2024-2025, overseas employment agencies will need to submit documents again on sending workers to Japan by amending categories such as technical intern, specified skilled workers and U-Turn or non U-Turn, along with OWIC copies by 15 May, said Safe Migration. However, there are 58 lists which failed to re-submit, it added.

The tax gap between Technical Intern Training and Specified Skilled Workers is nearly half, that is why agencies will need to do the submission as soon as possible to avoid losses, it said. Calculation will begin when the Central Bank announces the exchange rate, causing difficulty for amending, therefore agencies will need to make submission in time, said Safe Migration.
