Japan has started their new work visa programme inorder to welcome 820,000 people from other nations to work for Japan

In the following years, Japan is planning to welcome more foreigners in their country for the Specified Skilled Worker programme so they could expand their work visa. More improvements have been made in the Specified Skilled Worker programme so that it could be more accessible to the professional workers that want to contribute to its recently established four new industries. The Specified Skilled Worker No.1 will now be reachable to these industries which includes  forestry and timber sector, road and railway transportation. By working in these industries, they can obtain this work visa of japan.
 

 
 
As 2023 was coming to an end, Japan welcomed 208,000 workers on The Specified Skilled Worker No.1 and 37 workers on No.2. In order to broaden the work visa programme to four extra fields, Japan is continuing their plan this year to accept more skilled workers to 820,000.
