About this page
This page reports that the Japanese government has decided to require proof of Japanese language proficiency for foreign workers applying for the "Technology/Humanities/International Services" (Gijin-koku) visa when engaging in Japanese-language work. The new requirement mandates documentation of CEFR B2 level proficiency (equivalent to JLPT N2). Previously, Japanese language ability was not required. The stricter guidelines aim to prevent abuse of the visa by foreign workers taking simple labor jobs instead of professional positions. Guidelines are set to be revised in mid-April. Additionally, companies with violations in technical internship or specified skill programs will be barred from hiring Gijin-koku visa holders.
