Japanese language requirements for specific skills visas in Japan
There are five levels of Japanese proficiency test, from high to low, which basically requires candidates to reach N4 level in the qualification of repeating a certain skill. Obtaining N4 means that these foreign workers can master basic daily Japanese conversation. However, for the nursing industry, where Japanese level is not high, it may not be necessary for employees to reach N4 level.
Under the skill internship system, it is the ultimate goal for interns to apply the skills they have learned in Japan to their own countries. Therefore, Japan is allowed to accept foreign workers to engage in agriculture in places selected as national strategic special zones, but they must return to China after the skills internship 1 year or more.

Precautions for Japan's specific skill visa:
Foreigners who go to Japan through the skills internship system and the economic cooperation agreement (EPA) reached with Indonesia and Vietnam need to work in the nursing front line for half a year after further study, in addition to getting high marks in the Japanese proficiency test. This half year can not be counted as the required staffing, but only as the adaptation period of work and language.
However, with the revision of Japan's entry law, the "specific skills" visa system will be officially implemented in April 20 19. After passing the exam, you can prove that you have the same nursing skills as you did in Japan for three years, and you have a certain Japanese ability. It is a reception system that you can enter the front line of work after entering the country.
