A follow-up of sorts to a previous thread but since there's new information (and new questions popping in my head) I figure it might be worth opening a new thread.
I was browsing more info on those changes Japan are applying so graduates of senmon gakkou (vocational/technical school) are eligible for work visas and end up running into this site (in japanese):
https://office-immi-lawyer.com/blog/immigration-law/info20240229/
For what I could make up, it was very informative and even directed to the Immigration Services Agency news article that publish about the changes. For what I could understand – I'm still working on my japanese which is part of why I'm requesting help of you guys – from the site's PDF file is that for people who graduate on accredited japanese senmon gakkou they'll be given as much flexibility as people who graduated in an university/college overseas when requesting a visa.
Further researching also lead me to this page of Ministry of Education website. Since the wording seems to imply that it's not every senmon gakkou and – for what I could look up – not every course even if it's a school accredited (yup), my google-fu lead me to this page that seems to be a list of the schools that are accredited.
I think!
Another look at the MOJ website gave this PDF which seems more official
Which brings me to some of my questions:
– Are they really including senmon gakkou, as in those with two year courses in that flexibility thing they are proposing?
– Does the Ministry of Education webpage I found has any relation to the accredited senmon gakkou they are refering to? I was kind of confused, since the site's URL is related to MEXT so I might be mixing things up duo my hopium.
– All of that said, is there any catch I might have missed? Or am I worrying too much?
Thanks in advance for the attention and any help provided.
