Hello,
I am aware that this is not really the place for some reliable legal advice, but some of you are living longer here than I do, so I was hoping for some ideas.
I will change my company in a couple of weeks, but part of the contract papers is a document certifying that I have a guarantor in Japan (身分保証書). One of my friends will likely become my guarantor, but it makes me feel very uncomfortable, as I do not want to feel indepted to him. I will ask my new boss, but I don't think they will let me join the company without a guarantor.
I know that there are guarantor companies for renting an apartment, but I was wondering if something similar exists for work contracts. Do they also accept gaijin?
Thank you for your feedback
