A joint test conducted between Sri Lanka and Japan will confirm skills and Japanese language proficiency. Those who pass the test have the opportunity to work in Japan for a period of five (5) years. Under the SSW program, Japan has announced 14 employment areas, out of which Sri Lanka has been approved for 6 areas – Nursing Caregiving, Food service industry, Agriculture,
Construction, Building Cleaning and Aviation.
Among these, skill tests for nursing, food service industry, agriculture, and aviation are currently being conducted in Sri Lanka. The basic qualifications are: Being a Sri Lankan citizen between 18 and 45 years of age; Proficiency in Japanese language. To confirm the Japanese language proficiency, the Japanese government must have passed the JFT (Japanese Foundation Test) or JLPTN 4 (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) Japanese language proficiency level; pass the skill test conducted related to the chosen field of work. The applicants should be in good health and not have any permanent body tattoos. If you meet the above qualifications, you can apply for career opportunities in Japan and the Sri Lanka Foreign Employment Bureau will provide the necessary advice and guidance.
