Summary
Japan has strengthened immigration controls to prevent misuse of visa statuses. From April 1, intra-company transferees must now submit additional documents proving overseas employment status, such as social insurance enrollment, company registration, and tax records. Previously, proof of employment alone was sufficient. The government has also tightened other visa requirements, including raising capital thresholds for business manager visas and introducing Japanese language requirements for certain work visas, aiming to ensure more rigorous screening and compliance.
