Japan relaxes China's visa policy 2065438+2009 Newly changed visa policy.

At the end of 2009, 65438+just issued a new policy for China, which really relaxed the visa policy for China people. Traveling to Japan is more convenient than going to Hong Kong and Macao. It is obvious that Japan attaches great importance to the economy that China has brought to Japan.

I. Opening Online Visa Processing From next month, Japanese tourists can apply for a single visit visa to China online at the Japanese Embassy in China. This time, they will start from the Japanese Embassy in Beijing (consular districts: Beijing, Tianjin, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Gansu, Henan, Hebei, Hubei, Hunan, Qinghai, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Xizang Autonomous Region and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region) and start from other regions in April next year.

China has also become the first country to open an online tourist visa service to Japan.

According to TBS TV, with the surge in the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan, the number of tourist visas in Japan has also increased sharply, with more than 7 million visas handled last year alone. The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has adopted this new measure to improve the efficiency of visa business.

Paper visas will also be cancelled from April next year, and all of them will be changed to "electronic visas" based on cloud data management.

Applying for a visa online probably means opening a channel for "individual application", that is, tourists can bypass the intermediate links and get their own visas, which will greatly reduce the travel costs of tourists.

Although the official website, the Japanese Embassy in China, has not updated the details of online application yet, more details will be announced soon. Do you still need to go through a travel agency? Will hard restrictions such as asset certificates change? The Japanese monarch will continue to follow up in detail and introduce it to everyone at the same time ~

Second, relax the visa conditions for foreign workers In order to solve the problem of "labor shortage" in Japan, a brand-new visa policy for foreign workers will be implemented from 1 this month. If foreign workers have specific Japanese skills and vocational skills, they can apply for the following two kinds of visas from the Japanese Immigration Bureau:

① "specific skill number 1" visa

The applicant works in 14 construction, agriculture, medical care and other industries. ("No specific skills. 1 "is applicable to nursing, building cleaning, metal material processing, industrial equipment manufacturing, electronic and electrical equipment industry, construction, shipbuilding and shipping, automobile maintenance, aviation, agriculture, fishery, food and beverage processing, catering and accommodation).

With the aging population and declining birthrate in Japan, the labor force is decreasing, and industries such as construction, agriculture and medical care are particularly facing a "labor shortage". It is hoped that by relaxing the visa conditions for such talents, more foreign workers will be attracted and the labor shortage will be alleviated.

The Japanese government estimates that more than 340,000 foreign workers may apply for visas with specific skills 1 in the future. The first batch of visas is expected to be issued in mid-April, and workers who have already worked in Japan are expected to apply at the latest.

Japanese media estimate 14 industry personnel growth scale:

② "Specific Skill No.2" visa

Applicants are skilled in the construction or shipbuilding industry, and the number of visa renewals is unlimited. They can take their spouses and children to Japan.

For a long time, if international students intend to work in Japan after graduation, they need to change their visas from "studying abroad" to "technology, humanistic knowledge and international business", and their work content must be related to their major in studying abroad. The distribution standards are strict, and the number of people who can stay and work in Japan after graduation is very limited.

Compared with specific skill 1, specific skill No.2 needs higher level and more professional skills and knowledge. There is no upper limit for the stay period of "Specific Skills No.2" in Japan, which is the biggest difference from the "Specific Skills 1" visa. Foreigners living in Japan with the "Specific Skills No.2" visa can always renew their residence period, or they can live in Japan with their families, which essentially provides a form of living in Japan indefinitely.

Eligibility for specific skill visa application:

1, with basic Japanese level, reaching basic conversation level, equivalent to "N4" level in Japanese proficiency test.

2, through the relevant industry occupation examination. Ministries and agencies responsible for supervising specific industries will be responsible for setting up examinations to test whether applicants have the corresponding knowledge and skills.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Resources, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism set up different examinations.

In addition, foreign interns who currently hold a "skills internship" visa in Japan can change their visas to "specific skills 1" after the internship.

Those who have dropped out of school, missing technical interns, people who are staying in "specific activities (refugee recognition application)" and interns who are still in the "technical internship" period cannot take the "specific skills 1" exam.
