New Immigration Procedures
In 2006 the Ministry of Justice submitted a bill to the
ordinary session of the Diet to make amendments to the
Immigration Control Act. The bill was enacted and new
immigration procedures came into effect November 2007.
The new procedures are to help facilitate the prevention of
terrorist attacks. They also aim to make Japan a safe place
to live for Japanese and non-Japanese visitors and residents
alike. For further information on the new procedures please
