Japan Considers Making the My Number Card Mandatory

Japan’s ruling party, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), plans to recommend that the government study whether obtaining a My Number Card should become mandatory for all citizens. However, even if the card becomes required, the proposal does not include penalties for people who do not obtain one.

Currently, applying for a My Number Card is voluntary. Since the card system began in 2016, the government has encouraged people to apply by offering reward points through programs such as the My Number Points campaign. These incentives helped increase the number of applicants.

The proposal will be included in a policy plan called “Digital Nippon 2026,” which aims to create a society where everyone can benefit from digital technology. The LDP believes that for Japan to fully develop its digital services, it is important that all citizens have the My Number Card.

The card is already becoming more important in daily life. By December 2025, Japan plans to abolish traditional health insurance cards and replace them with a new system that integrates health insurance functions into the My Number Card.

Japan is considering expanding the role of the My Number Card to support digital government services, but without punishing people who choose not to obtain one.

Can Someone With Large Savings Can Still Live in Public Housing?

Public housing in Japan is designed to help people with low or moderate income afford a place to live. To move into public housing, applicants must meet certain requirements, and one of the most important conditions is income level. Because of this rule, some people feel confused or suspicious when they hear that someone living in public housing has large savings, such as 20 million yen in the bank.

The key point is that public housing eligibility is mainly based on income, not savings. When a person applies, the government checks how much money they earn each year from work, pensions, or other regular income sources. Savings or assets are usually not the primary factor unless they produce significant income. Therefore, someone may have a large amount of savings but still qualify if their yearly income remains below the official limit.

There are several situations where this can happen. For example, a person may have saved money in the past when they had a higher-paying job but now earns less income due to retirement, job changes, childcare responsibilities, or health issues. In such cases, they may legally continue living in public housing even with substantial savings.

However, residents must report their income regularly. If their income rises above the allowed limit, they may be classified as “over-income residents.” Local governments may then encourage them to move out or charge higher rent. Still, immediate eviction is uncommon; instead, authorities usually provide time for residents to find alternative housing.

In summary, having large savings does not automatically disqualify someone from public housing in Japan. The system focuses on current income rather than total assets. While this may seem unfair to some people, the goal is to support households whose ongoing earnings make it difficult to afford private housing, even if they have savings from the past.

Japan Cracks Down on Illegal Foreign Residents Using Social Media Monitoring

Japan's Immigration Services Agency has announced a new plan to strengthen enforcement against foreigners who are living and working illegally in the country. The agency will now use social media to gather information and catch people who have overstayed their visas or are working without proper authorization.

Until now, the agency mainly relied on people turning themselves in or receiving tips from the police before taking action to deport illegal residents. However, the new approach aims to be more proactive. Officials have noticed that social media platforms contain a lot of information about illegal job recruitment and fake visa documents being offered. The agency plans to monitor and analyze this content to identify both illegal workers and the businesses or individuals who hire them or help them find jobs.

To make this monitoring more effective, the agency is planning to introduce artificial intelligence and private-sector analysis tools, with operations expected to begin next year. Additionally, because local governments have been receiving more complaints from residents about illegal activities, the agency is considering expanding consultation services in regional areas.

According to officials, most people who overstay their visas do so because they need to earn money to live. However, illegal employment creates many problems. Workers often face poor working conditions, taxes go unpaid, and conflicts with local communities can arise. The government sees addressing these issues as an urgent priority.

Japan's government established a new coordinating body last year to handle issues related to foreign residents. As part of these efforts, enforcement has already increased. Last year, authorities caught 1,837 illegal workers, which was 459 more than the previous year. As of January this year, there were 68,488 people overstaying their visas in Japan, down by 6,375 from the year before.

New Guidelines for Companies Hiring Foreign Workers in Japan

The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has approved a revised set of guidelines explaining what companies should do when they hire foreign workers. These changes aim to help Japan build a fair and cooperative society where both Japanese citizens and foreign residents can live and work together smoothly.

First, the new guidelines emphasize the importance of mutual understanding. Companies are expected to help Japanese employees understand and support multicultural workplaces. At the same time, foreign workers are encouraged to learn about Japanese culture, social rules, and responsibilities so they can adapt well to life and work in Japan. The government believes that employers play a key role in making this cooperation successful.

One major point in the revision is related to language support. Employers are asked to make efforts to provide opportunities for foreign workers—and even their family members—to study Japanese. Learning the language helps foreign workers communicate better, understand workplace rules, and participate more actively in society.

The guidelines also strengthen rules about proper employment management. Companies must follow legal procedures when hiring or when a foreign employee leaves a job. Employers are required to submit accurate notifications to the government. If a company allows illegal employment or fails to report hiring or resignation correctly, penalties may be applied under the law.

To prevent fraud, employers must check a foreign worker’s residence card during the hiring process. The government recommends using an official smartphone application provided by Japan’s Immigration Services Agency to confirm whether the card is genuine and not forged.

Overall, the revised guidelines highlight that companies are responsible not only for hiring foreign workers but also for supporting them properly. By promoting language learning, legal compliance, and cultural understanding, Japan hopes to create an orderly and inclusive society where people from different backgrounds can work together safely and respectfully.

Ayon sa news na ito, naglabas ng pahayag ang leader ng National Democratic Party tungkol sa plano nilang pagbigay ng 5 lapad sa bawat mamamayan, na pwedeng kunin ang budget sa binabayarang syakai hoken (social insurance) ng mga mamamayan.
Ito ay hindi kailangang kunin sa binabayad na tax mula sa government. Parang ibabalik lang pansamantala daw ang binayad na contribution sa social insurance dahil sa nangyayaring pagtaas ng mga bilihin sa ngayon.
Dinagdag pa nya na dapat isagawa agad ito within this year, ang matulungan ang mga low income at mga middle-class family na nahihirapan sa ngayon.

Stricter Business Manager Visa Rules in Japan Greatly Reduce Applications

Japan has recently made its “Business Manager” visa (経営・管理ビザ) much stricter, and this change has caused a dramatic drop in new applications. According to government sources, applications decreased by about 96% after the new rules were introduced in October last year.

The Business Manager visa allows foreign nationals to start and run companies in Japan. However, the government found that some people were abusing the system by creating paper companies—businesses that exist only on paper—to enter or stay in Japan illegally. To prevent misuse, the Ministry of Justice strengthened the visa requirements.

Under the new rules, applicants must now show a much larger business investment. The required capital increased from 5 million yen to 30 million yen, six times higher than before. Applicants must also hire full-time employees and prove that their business is real and stable.

Before the rule change, Japan received around 1,700 applications per month. After the stricter standards were implemented, the number fell sharply to only about 70 applications per month. Officials say that most successful applicants now are high-level executives from large or publicly listed companies, showing that the visa has become harder for small entrepreneurs to obtain.

While the government believes stricter rules help prevent fraud, many foreign business owners who have lived and worked in Japan for years are worried. Some fear they may be forced to close their businesses or return to their home countries if they cannot meet the new financial requirements.

This situation highlights the challenge Japan faces in balancing immigration control with encouraging foreign entrepreneurship.

Higher Visa Fees in Japan, to be deliver to Upper House

Japan’s government is planning to increase the fees that foreign residents must pay for immigration procedures. A proposed revision to the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act has already passed the House of Representatives and will now be discussed in the House of Councillors, and it will start by middle of May.

The main goal of the proposal is to introduce what officials call a “beneficiary pays” principle, meaning people who receive immigration services should help cover the cost of managing them.

Foreign nationals must have a valid residence status to stay in Japan. There are 29 types of residence status, such as work visas, student visas, or family visas. These usually need to be renewed every three months to five years. Until now, the maximum fee limit for immigration procedures had remained unchanged since 1981.

Under the new proposal, the upper limits for fees will increase significantly. The fee for changing or renewing a residence status could rise from the current ¥6,000 to roughly ¥10,000–¥70,000, depending on the length of stay. Applications for permanent residency may increase from about ¥10,000 to around ¥200,000. The law itself sets only the maximum limits; the exact amounts will later be decided by government regulations.

The Immigration Services Agency explained that earlier fees were based mainly on administrative costs. However, the new system also considers broader expenses needed to maintain fair immigration control and management.

Supporters argue that higher fees are reasonable because immigration services require more resources today. Critics, however, question whether the large increase may place too much financial burden on foreign residents living and working in Japan.
