Summary
The Japanese government announced that it will deny entry to foreign tourists who previously failed to pay medical expenses. Additionally, medium- and long-term foreign residents who have not paid national health insurance or pension premiums will be barred from renewing or changing their visa status. To prevent such nonpayment, the government will monitor social insurance payments for specified skilled workers through their employers and may prohibit companies with significant arrears from hiring foreign workers.
