Offer Evaluator

Check an offer before you commit to anything.

Use this tool to evaluate a Japan work opportunity — whether from a sending organization, employer, or online listing. Answer 12 questions about the terms you've been given, and get a transparent risk assessment.

Before you start

This tool helps you identify red flags — not make the final decision for you. A low-risk result does not mean an opportunity is guaranteed to be legitimate. A high-risk result does not automatically mean fraud. What it does is tell you which questions you have not yet answered and which answers are cause for concern.

Have the following information available if you can:

  • The name of the intermediary or sending organization
  • The fee amount you have been quoted (and whether you have a breakdown)
  • The name of the employer in Japan, if given
  • Any contracts or documents you have already received
  • The visa category you have been told you will use
