Japan is planning to introduce a new visa status that would allow fourth-generation Japanese immigrants to live and work in the country for an extended period of time with their family members.
This new visa status is being created in an effort to attract more Japanese immigrants to Japan, and to help address the country’s labor shortage.
To be eligible for the new visa status, applicants must meet certain criteria, including being proficient in Japanese. They must also have lived in Japan for five years under the current “designated activities” visa program.
The Japanese government is expected to seek public input on this matter in the coming months, and to implement the changes by the end of the year.
This is good news for fourth-generation Japanese immigrants who have been separated from their families while working in Japan. It is also good news for Japan, as it will help to attract more workers to the country and to boost the economy.
