Upcoming Seminar on Foreign Personnel Acceptance System

Japan Planning Institute (JPI) will host a seminar on October 29, 2025, addressing the latest trends in the foreign personnel acceptance system in light of recent amendments to immigration laws. The event features Mr. Yoshito Zaitsu, Director of Policy Coordination at the Ministry of Justice's Immigration Bureau, as the speaker.

Seminar Overview
