How Indian Software Engineers Are Contributing to Japan's Automation And Enterprise Technology Growth

SiZA Global2 May 20268 min readReviewed by SiZA Global Documentation Review Team

Indian IT talent is supporting Japan's digital transformation.

Why Japan is opening up to Indian software engineers

Tokyo and Osaka employers in industrial automation, enterprise software, gaming, robotics and the larger trading houses (Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Marubeni) increasingly hire Indian engineers for backend, integration, data and platform roles. The Highly Skilled Professional visa and the Engineer / Specialist in Humanities visa are both available, and the points-based system on HSP gives Indian senior engineers a clear runway.

Japan asks for documents in Japanese for many formal steps. Certified Japanese translation of the apostilled degree, marriage certificate and experience documents is part of the standard chain. Japan accepted the Hague Apostille Convention, so MEA apostille on Indian documents is the relevant authentication. The same documents will be used for the Certificate of Eligibility (COE) application and any later permanent residence step.

What this kind of file usually carries

A Japan tech file is structured for the COE submission filed by the Japanese employer. The Japanese HR team will ask for the apostilled degree, marriage certificate and birth certificates if dependants are joining. Translation is non-negotiable for most documents.

  • Engineering degree (B.Tech, BE, M.Tech), with all marksheets
  • University transcript
  • Certified Japanese translation of the academic documents
  • Experience letters from each Indian employer
  • Marriage certificate and spouse's degree
  • Birth certificate of each child
  • Police clearance certificate
  • Passport with at least twenty-four months validity

Where SiZA Global fits in this preparation

We handle the India side: MEA apostille on the degree, marksheets, transcripts, marriage certificate, birth certificates and PCC, certified Japanese translation by listed translators, and tracked return of originals before relocation. Originals stay with named SiZA staff.

The COE decision, the work visa stamp at the Japanese consulate and the employer sponsorship belong to the Japanese side. We do not promise outcomes there.

FAQs

Why are Indians moving to Japan for automation and enterprise technology opportunities?

Japanese employers in industrial automation, enterprise software, gaming and the larger trading houses are increasingly opening engineering roles to Indian candidates, and the Highly Skilled Professional visa or Engineer visa makes the route viable. The points-based system on HSP suits senior Indian engineers with strong experience.

Which documents may Indians need before moving to Japan?

A Japan tech file usually carries the engineering degree with marksheets, the university transcript, certified Japanese translation of academic documents, experience letters from each Indian employer, marriage certificate, spouse's degree, birth certificate of each child, police clearance and passport with at least twenty-four months validity.

Can SiZA Global help with apostille, attestation or translation?

Yes. We process MEA apostille, certified Japanese translation by listed translators and tracked return of originals. We do not run the Certificate of Eligibility decision, the consular work visa stamp or the employer sponsorship.

Is SiZA Global a government department or a private documentation support company?

SiZA Global Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is a private documentation services company registered in Noida. We are not a government department, not an embassy and not a visa consultancy. We carry the India-side document chain so the case moves cleanly through MEA and the Japanese employer and consulate requirements.
