The two visa regulations allow foreigners to work in areas where there is a shortage.

Up to now, Japan has a limited number of immigration laws, and only a small number of workers are received from other countries.

Now the new rules open the labor market in the fields of construction, agriculture and health.

Workers with the first visa can work freely in the country for five years and can bring their families with a certain level of skills and fluency.

The bill must be approved by the Japanese parliament and faced criticism of the opposition parties on the impact of rising wages and crime.

"Japan is facing a typical example of a developed country, although workers are lacking, but do not want migrant workers.

Obviously, foreign workers in Japan are needed. That is why Japan needs a proper system for regulating and protecting foreign workers.

Japanese businesses dispute the changes in immigration regulations and workers in many countries.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, however, emphasized that the debates did not need to revise immigration policies.

"Japan only accepts foreign workers who have special skills and are able to work immediately to deal with labor shortages, only the sectors they really need," said Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Parliament on October 1, 1818. "
