Improving services to foreign residents
Good news everyone! The Japanese government is taking new measures to provide services to foreign residents!
The government plans to compile a central database of all registered foreigners by 2007, aiming to improve services to foreign residents, sources said.
At present, such data are kept separately by the municipalities where they live.
The move will extend to all foreign nationals who arrived in Japan in and after the 1980s, and include current addresses and duration of stay, the sources said.
The central database is expected to help facilitate services for foreign residents, such as promoting language training and social insurance programs, sources said.
At the same time, the information could also assist in tracking down foreigners suspected in criminal investigations. (Asahi Shinbun)
