Regarding the relaxation of border measures from next month, the organization responsible for accepting technical intern trainees will first welcome the trainees as they will enter the country.
With this relaxation of border measures, technical intern trainees will be allowed to enter the country under certain conditions.
The Saitama City supervision organization accepts more than 200 trainees every year and has them work at the construction and food processing companies to which they are assigned.
However, while about 250 people were unable to earn income due to immigration restrictions so far, they were forced to wait in their own countries such as Vietnam, and 27 of them said that they had given up on entering the country because they could not maintain their lives. That is.
In addition, some of the companies to which they were assigned have been affected by the shortage of workers and the inability to receive orders for construction work.
In this group, the room where the trainees who entered Japan took the course was kept in a state where the teaching materials were prepared for more than a year, and they waited for the time to resume acceptance.
Hirokazu Tsuruta, Managing Director of the Kanto Staff Cooperative, said, "It is a very difficult situation for trainees to wait for more than a year on the premise that they will go to Japan. It will be an internationalized society and minimum traffic is necessary. I would like to welcome the relaxation of immigration restrictions. "
On the other hand, this easing has an upper limit of 5,000 immigrants per day, and may be revised depending on the future situation.
Managing Director Tsuruta said, "I am concerned that a new mutant virus will be released and immigration will be restricted again. I hope to return to the normal cycle of feeling the goodness of Japan, acquiring skills and returning to my home country. But I don't think it's easy, "he said.
