Summary
Japan's Immigration Services Agency (ISA) is considering revoking or downgrading the residency status of foreign permanent residents who intentionally evade or repeatedly delay paying taxes. The agency expects an increase in foreign workers obtaining permanent residency with the introduction of a new "training and employment" program, which replaces the controversial foreign technical intern program. This new system aims to train foreign workers to a certain skill level within three years, making them eligible for permanent residency.
