The Japanese government outlined Thursday plans to give preferential treatment to foreigners with specialized skills, depending on their research achievements, academic background and other points, to encourage them to work in Japan.
The Ministry of Justice plans to put the point system, by which their visas of up to three years can be extended to five years, into effect by the end of this year amid intensifying international competition for competent human resources, especially engineers.
Under the system, the government will give points to foreigners by checking their annual income, work experience, and other factors, and extend the visas or give other preferential treatment to those with a certain level of points.
The possession of a master’s business degree and the frequency of published research papers will likely be valued highly in the check system.
Those subject to the system will be university professors, researchers, business managers, doctors, lawyers and other highly specialized professionals, according to the outline.
