Summary
Japan’s Justice Ministry announced that non-Japanese minors born, raised, and educated in Japan will soon be eligible for special residency permission. This decision, explained by Justice Minister Ken Saito, is in response to recent changes in the asylum law that affect detention and deportation rules. The new measure aims to protect children who might otherwise face deportation due to their parents’ immigration status under the revised regulations.
