Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi¡¯s administration is gearing up to compile a set of policies that would affect foreign nationals ¡ª from tighter restrictions on real estate purchases to higher visa fees and departure tax, as well as better Japanese language education.
As Takaichi is prioritizing drafting those policies, she has reorganized a ministerial conference on the topic and established a government panel of experts, while her fellow Liberal Democratic Party lawmakers are also discussing what policies should be revised.
The experts and lawmakers are expected to present their recommendations to Takaichi in January.
