What does this country want?
And yet they alienate them by dramatically increased visa fees and language requirements.
Thing is I wanted to work a year at a tea plantation or saw brewery but the companies can’t afford my visa status.
It’s great that the Japanese government is pushing this but it would be better if the companies are also on board with it too.
Lol. Wait until they find out people still don’t want to come.
They still want these peoples labor but do not want to afford them a dignified place in their own society, fairly common arrangement really.
