i think her passport would contain her work visa from japan, no?

1. doubt japan immigration department is so 'easy' to negotiate for a certificate or letter proving that she has worked in japan before. they don't like to do things out of the norm.

2. don't think visas specify what kind of job you do, just a one entree and u have to register annually. their system is kind of funny, give u a visa and u apply for a reentree permit everytime u get out of the country.

Hi
Yes agree.
She needs simply to corroborate her account, that she worked in this job.
I guess it is to provide some 'proof' in some way, that she has in fact not made it up, so that she is not getting the job, over a non-qualified.Some people falsify their cv's and I have found that in HK their is a high level of suspicion in this direction, perhaps justifiably., I don't know. Since many expat qualified overseas (doesnt matter where) they must check our credentials.A tutor/colleague/friend in a professional job/doctor/banker?bank manager?? in Japan? or some person who might be assumed to be telling the truth to state that you worked there. You can only try.
hope this helps
