working in Japan under a French contract 2010/10/30 01:06
Hello,
I'm Mexican and am currently working in France with a French company under a French contract. The company has offices in Tokyo and in theory I can work right there in the same way I work here.
My intention is to work in Tokyo for two months. Do you know which kind of Visa I should apply for?

I could just stay in Tokyo with a temporary visa (which, as i understand, is actually a tourism/business visa, valid for 90 days), but I wouldn't want to do anything illegal.

Any suggestions?

Under the Temporary Visitor Visa, you cannot engage in paid activities.
If your French employer is sending you for a while to its Tokyo branch, you need to ask your company to arrange for "Intra-company Transferee" status.
