Stricter Foreigner Policies and the Impact on Japan Business Visas
On the 23rd, the government summarized the outline of a new basic policy aimed at tightening regulations regarding
foreign residents. This includes the creation of programs for learning Japanese and stricter requirements for
obtaining Japanese nationality.
For those planning to obtain a Business Manager
Visa to start a business in Japan, or those considering staying under other Japan Business
Visas, these are significant changes that should be monitored closely.
Stricter Requirements for Japanese Language Learning and Nationality
The newly revealed government policy proposes the creation of a "program for foreigners to learn the Japanese
language and Japan's systems and rules."
Building on this, the government is considering stricter examination
standards and the swift implementation of the following measures.
| Policy Pillars | Details |
| Japanese Language & Rules | Creation of a program for foreigners to learn Japan's language and systems. |
| Nationality Acquisition | Completion and understanding of the created program will be a factor in the examination (Stricter requirements). |
| Permanent Residence | Stricter examination standards for Permanent Residence are being considered. |
| Deportation | Consideration of expanding the scope of crimes subject to deportation. |
| Foreign Schools | Reviewing the framework for subsidies to foreign schools. |
Regulations on Land Acquisition and Future Outlook
The government's policy regarding "stricter regulations on land acquisition by foreigners," which has been debated by
the Liberal Democratic Party, has also been clarified.
While the view is strengthening that "uniform regulation
of land acquisition by foreigners" is difficult due to WTO agreements, new legal rules are being considered from a
national security perspective, referencing regulations in other countries.
- Nationalization of ownerless remote border islands
- Monitoring of condominium price surges caused by foreign investment
- Investigation of the impact of sensitive transactions and consideration of necessary countermeasures
Discussions on these legal frameworks are scheduled to proceed with a panel of experts expected to be established as
early as February, moving towards necessary legislation.
For foreign investors aiming for long-term stays or
Business Manager Visas in Japan, this is a significant development concerning real estate
acquisition and permanent residency.
