Type of visa for Web related senmon gakkou 2021/9/20 00:00
Hello!!
So next year I'm planning to go to a senmon gakkou and study Web programming and design ( https://www.hal.ac.jp/tokyo/course/twoyear/internet ) and my question is that if anyone knows what kind of visa can i get if i find a job, does web programming and web design count towards an engineer visa?

You mean 'after graduation', right? Or, are you actually planning to work mainly, studying part time at the school for financial reason ?

This is an arts school, so my gut feeling says it won't qualify for engineering or science jobs. I would email the school and ask them if you can get an Engineering Visa with their degree.

Also, I strongly recommend asking the school for the curriculum. Ask them what are the technologies they'll teach you. The curriculum on their website is not impressive and very outdated.

To study at a Senmon Gakko, you can apply a Student visa (in general).

To work while you study on a resident status of 'Student', you need a permission called Shikakugai Katsudou Kyoka. (please be advised that working hours are limited and you can't engage some jobs)

If you work in Japan after you got a Diploma in the field that is related to your major, what visa/resident status that will be for you is mentioned on a page for international students on https://www.hal.ac.jp/tokyo/for/international_student

I suggest you to see also mofa site, they have a list of visas with examples of work. https://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/long/index.html

OP here!
Thanks for your help.
And sorry because i didn't see that the school actually tells that when i graduate if i get a job i will be able to get an "Engineer/Specialist in humanities/International services" Working Visa (thx "hopeithelps". it did). I actually didn't know that engineer working visa also included specialist in humanities and international services so that it makes a particular working visa that contains a lot of types of jobs, a lot of them not related to IT at all.

Also i know that their curriculum is not the best but more or less the few senmon gakkou that offer 2 year web dev courses are the same. And since i want to work as a web dev i don't really want to enroll in another type of IT course like system administrator.
