Reference letters, employment contracts and payslips translated into Japanese and signed by a named professional translator, for work visas and financial evidence in Japan.
A payslip and employment letter translation into Japanese is usually part of proving your work experience for a Japanese work visa, or a sponsor's income for a student or dependant application. VisaDocTranslation translates your letters, contracts and payslips in full, and a named professional translator signs them with their full name, contact details and qualifications.
It's £41.99 per page with next-working-day delivery. Your Japanese employer usually knows exactly what it's submitting, so check with them first; our Japanese translation overview explains the service.

Often, especially if you're relying on work experience rather than, or as well as, a degree. The Immigration Services Agency asks for Japanese translations of foreign-language documents, and your employer in Japan will tell you which letters it needs.
Under the Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services status, relevant work experience can stand in for a degree: generally ten years, or three years for some international services roles such as translation or language teaching. That experience is proved with letters from past employers, which is where translations come in.
Intra-company transferees also need to show they've worked for the overseas company for at least a year before the transfer, and an employment letter is the usual evidence. Highly Skilled Professional applicants may claim points for experience and salary, which also need documents behind them.
Your full name, job title, start and end dates, whether the role was full-time, a description of your duties, and the employer's name, address, contact details and an authorised signature. A Japanese translation then reproduces all of it.
The duties section matters more than people expect. Japanese immigration checks that your experience relates to the job you're going to do, and "various tasks as required" proves nothing to anyone, in any language. Ask your former employer for specifics.
We translate the letter as written; we can't add details that aren't there. If the letter is thin, it's far easier to get a better one from your former employer before translation than to explain the gap afterwards.
Sometimes. Payslips are typically used to show a sponsor's income, for example a parent funding a student, or to back up a salary claim. Ask whoever is preparing your application whether payslips are needed and how many months.
UK payslips are dense with abbreviations: PAYE, NI, tax codes like 1257L, pension contributions and student loan deductions. We translate each line so a Japanese reader can see gross pay, deductions and net pay, and amounts stay in pounds exactly as printed.
If you're showing income over a year, a P60 or tax return may be a tidier option than a stack of payslips. See tax return translation into Japanese.
Yes. We translate employment contracts, offer letters, references and secondment letters into Japanese in full, and a named translator signs each translation.
Contracts are longer than letters and priced by page, so check whether the office needs the whole contract or a letter confirming the key terms. A one-page employer's letter is usually enough to prove dates and duties.
If your new employer in Japan has sent you a contract in Japanese and you'd like to read it in English, we translate out of Japanese too: choose the United Kingdom on the quote form for an English translation.

For the Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services status, relevant experience can generally substitute for a degree: usually ten years, or three years for some international services roles. Your employer or an immigration adviser can confirm what applies to you.
