Summary
Starting in April, Japan’s immigration agency will launch a support program for foreigners fleeing conflict zones, such as Ukraine, to help them adjust to life in Japan. This program, under revised immigration laws, will offer a six-month or one-year period for participants to study Japanese and learn about Japanese laws and customs, with financial aid included. The initiative primarily aims to support over 2,500 Ukrainian evacuees in Japan, offering long-term residency with work eligibility. Additionally, Ukrainian evacuees without sponsors may receive up to two years of financial assistance for living expenses.
