Filipina Domestic Helpers in Japan - Visa Issues
Though it is the norm in Japan for Filipina domestic helpers to work for several employers, juggling several jobs - in most cases it is illegal for them to do so. That is because the majority of domestic helpers in the private market are sponsored by a family, either under a "designated activities" or "during mission" visa status. The former case is where a business manager/investor is the visa sponsor; the latter is where a diplomat is the sponsor.
For those domestic helpers holding these visa types, it is not permitted for them to work outside of the home of their employer (sponsor). This is because such visas are not considered to be correct "working visas"; rather they are deemed to be "special permission" to be in Japan.
If you are looking to hire a legal domestic worker in the private market, you would be advised to hire a Japanese national or a localized Filipina worker (holding a spouse, long-term or permanent resident visa). This also eliminates the risk of hiring a "sponsored" worker who may have to leave Japan when their sponsorship ends and their visa expires.
Of course, if you are looking to hire a high-quality domestic helper, you can feel assured that Chez Vous has a wide selection of legal staff - all with correct working visas.
