Even so though. I was under the impression if one finds employment and the employer sponsors them etc, then what they have to do is leave Japan and go to the Japanese consulate in Korea or wherever to get a work visa issued to them, then they can return to Japan. This is no longer legal to do? I'm not sure what is illegal, if they leave the country, and then get a visa issued to them, and then return to Japan.
