Japan has introduced a new rule making it harder for thousands of Indian professionals to obtain permanent residency. The rule is linked to the applicant's annual income.
As of August 1, Japan will implement a new rule that affects the permanent residency (PR) applications of thousands of Indian professionals. The rule is based on the applicant's annual income, making it more challenging for them to obtain PR. This change is expected to impact many Indians who are currently working in Japan. The new rule is part of Japan's efforts to reform its immigration policies. The Japanese government aims to attract highly skilled workers while ensuring that the country's immigration system is fair and efficient.
