The Japanese government will be adding a new requirement to the visa application process.
Japan plans to require N2-level Japanese proficiency for certain Specialist in Humanities/International Services visas.
KEY POINTS
- The new language requirement will apply only to jobs where Japanese is used, but criteria remain unclear.
- Foreign students in Japan transitioning to work visas will be exempt from the new language requirement.
- The change aims to prevent foreigners from using skilled visas to work in unskilled labor roles.
- A formal announcement of the new visa requirement is expected later this month.
