Recently, the number of Japanese companies employing non-Japanese nationals is rapidly increasing.
However, unlike in the case of Japanese employees, foreigners are require to obtain a “permit from the government” in order to perform basic daily activities such as “living in Japan”, “learning in Japan” and “working in Japan”, the sole reason for this being that they are of foreign nationalities.
