The Certificate of Eligibility (CoE) is an essential document issued by Japan’s Immigration Bureau to confirm that the applicant meets the requirements for entering and working in Japan. It is obtained by the employer in Japan before the applicant applies for the work visa at the consulate. The CoE speeds up entry procedures and significantly increases the chances of visa approval. UAE residents applying for a Japan Work Visa cannot proceed without this document, as it validates their job offer and work authorization.
