Japan expands foreign worker visa programme to address driver shortage

This move, as reported by Kyodo News, marks the addition of four new industries to the visa program, a response to the ongoing challenges posed by Japan’s declining birthrate and the impending “2024 problem” related to overtime limits for drivers.

Introduced in 2019, the expansion of the visa program covers the road and railway transportation sectors, along with the forestry and timber industries. This marks the first expansion of the program since its inception, highlighting the government’s recognition of the growing need for foreign labor in key sectors of the economy.
