> if they meet certain conditions such as having an annual income of 20 million yen
Wow, they’re really opening the floodgates this time around!
Now all they have to do is convince the corporations to offer a competitive salary. Relying on people who have an interest in experiencing the Japanese way of life isn’t enough anymore.
Wow! This changes nothing.
annual 20M salary ? no one has that
Do I need to be in Japan for 10 years to switch citizenship?
The govt is really disconnected with the reality huh.
I myself was on HSP/PR with the point systems but definitely not at 20M.
A friend got in big 3 consulting last year in Japan and his salary is 13M (for a 26 yo, pretty well paid imo) and he still doesn’t clear this requirement lmao.
lol i got excited for a second… 20 Million, big nope
Subtle way of saying fuck off
At the same time as they’re making it easier to deport refugee applicants.
Yeah, this doesn’t make me hate the immigration system any less, guys.
Another “fuck all” announcement from the LDP.
This is steps in the right direction, but just baby steps.
Well this policy isn’t going to fix their demographic problems, but there is something to be said for setting the bar high. It creates demand.
Think about a night club that hardly lets anyone in. It makes them want to get in even more.
Japan has a reputation as a low-crime, clean, rich country. As long as they maintain this reputation they can hope to lure high-quality immigrants for the foreseeable future. But countries that let in everybody become cesspools of crime and lower standards of living and then nobody wants to immigrate there anymore.
I just received my Japan residence card and the company I work for pays the Japan shadow tax. Since I am out of the US for more than 330 days a year I do not have to pay US taxes. Basically I handle my US taxes, company handles any foreign tax in any country I work in.
Hilarity. Let them fail again and again.
admittedly I didn’t read the article in detail but just based on the commonts seems like this is the classic Japanese government strategy of “do something solely for the sake of looking like we’re doing something (which in practice is actually useless to address the issue we’re pretending to address)”
