Last Thursday announced news that will prove of interest to many foreigners in Japan who want to come to Japan and I found out through one of the secretaries of the company where I work which sent us an email all foreigners in the company to warn of the story and motivate to attend Japanese classes that makes my company free of charge twice a week.

The Japanese government will give favorable treatment to all foreign residents in Japan with a Japanese level, extending up to 3 years the visa which is available currently to a maximum of 5 years.
The Japanese government hopes that with this measure, foreigners are motivated to learn Japanese and thus achieve better integration into Japanese society.

The government gave no details yet of how it will assess the level of Japanese in abroad, but it seems that will not create a new test for this, but who may use the JETRO test, but they also want to look better case because this test can only be done once a year and at certain points of the country. Also, are also studying the possibility of giving this advantage to foreigners who can prove they have studied a certain number of hours of Japanese.

The government is also raised in some activities to spread the Japanese and many foreign residents in Japan have easy access to these studies.

Finally, the Japanese government wanted to clarify that this is a favorable treatment to foreign nationals with knowledge of Japanese and is not meant to be a prerequisite, so that foreigners with no knowledge of Japanese will continue with the same rights as far .
