Summary
The Japanese government announced a plan to introduce an online travel authorization system for visa-exempt foreign visitors, requiring them to submit information like their purpose of stay before entering Japan. This measure aims to reduce illegal stays and is modeled after the U.S. ESTA system, which also helps prevent terrorism. This plan is part of a revised comprehensive package for accepting foreign workers, initially created in 2018 and updated annually. The latest revision includes 218 measures, such as Japanese language support for foreigners, in preparation for a new skill development program to replace the current technical intern scheme.
