Japan Relaxes China's Visa Policy 2065438+New Changes of Visa Policy in 2009

The new policy 19 for China just came out at the end of 2009, and the visa policy has indeed relaxed visa processing for China people. It is more convenient to travel to Japan than to Hong Kong and Macao. Obviously, what Japan values is the economy that China has brought to Japan.

First, open online visa processing.

Starting from next month, Japanese tourists can apply for a single visit visa to China online at the Japanese Embassy in China. This time 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) to 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 handled by Japan has also increased dramatically. Last year alone, more than 7 million visas were processed. The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs adopted this new measure to improve the efficiency of visa business.

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

Applying for a visa online is likely to open the channel of "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 Japanese Embassy in official website has not updated the details of the online application, more details will be announced. 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 ~

Second, relax the visa conditions for foreign workers.

In order to solve the problem of "labor shortage" in Japan, a new visa policy for foreign workers will be implemented this month 1 day. If foreign workers have specific Japanese skills and professional skills, they can apply for the following two kinds of visas to the Japanese entry-exit administration:

"specific skill number 1" visa

The applicant works in 14 construction, agriculture, medical care and other industries. ("Specific Skills 1" is applicable to nursing, building cleaning, metal material processing, industrial equipment manufacturing, electronic and electrical equipment industry, construction, shipbuilding and shipbuilding industry, automobile maintenance, aviation, agriculture, fisheries, food and beverage processing, catering and accommodation. However, the visa is valid for up to 5 years, and spouses and children are not allowed.

With the aging population, declining birthrate and decreasing labor force in Japan, industries such as construction, agriculture and medical care are particularly facing "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 the 1 visa and have specific skills 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:

"Specific Skills No.2" Visa

Applicants have skilled skills in the construction or shipbuilding industry, and the number of visa renewals is unlimited. They can bring 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 standard is strict, and very few people can stay and work in Japan after graduation.

Compared with specific skill 1, specific skill 2 requires a higher level and requires 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 renew their residence period at any time, 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. has a basic Japanese level, reaching the level of basic conversation, which is equivalent to the "N4" level in the Japanese proficiency test.

2. Pass the relevant industry vocational examination. Provincial departments responsible for supervising specific industries will be responsible for setting up examinations to test whether applicants have the corresponding knowledge and skills.

Different industries and occupations are established by the Ministry of Health, Labor, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

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

People who meet the following conditions cannot take the "Specific Skills 1" exam: international students who have dropped out of school, missing skills interns, people who are staying in "specific activities (refugee recognition applications), and interns who are still in" skills internships ".
