Japan’s Upper House approves new categories for foreigner workers

Breaking News: Japan’s Upper House approve a bill to accept more foreign workers to help ease the country’s serious labor shortage.

Under the revised immigration law, two new official work visa statuses will be created. The first category, which targets lesser-skilled workers, will be renewable for up to five years and in principle will not allow those eligible to bring along their family members.

More details of those new categories will be released early next week.
