Summary
Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Ordinance No. 5 of 2025 was promulgated on 2025-09-30, with an effective date of 2027-04-01. It amends the ministries' Enforcement Regulations of the National Strategic Special Zones Act, Ordinance No. 1 of 2015, as part of adjustments and transitional measures accompanying implementation of the Act amending the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act and the Act on Proper Technical Intern Training and Protection of Technical Intern Trainees.
Business Impact
Operators subject to the two ministries' National Strategic Special Zones enforcement regulations may be affected by the amendments and transitional measures. The listed amendment concerns those zone-specific regulations, rather than establishing the scope of changes for all employers of foreign workers or technical intern trainees.
Recommended Action
Review of the official Japanese source could clarify the amended provisions, affected zone-specific activities and transitional arrangements associated with the 2027-04-01 effective date.
