The Japanese government and the ruling Liberal Democratic Party plan to require all foreigners staying in Japan for more than 90 days to carry identification cards equipped with integrated circuit chips, with all data to be kept at an "intelligence center," party lawmakers said Tuesday.
Holders will be required to report any change of address and obtain permission to change jobs.
So you can quit and get new job just as before but you'll need the new employer to sponsor a visa.
if you don't also notify the ward office of your change in circumstances then you'll be on a blacklist somewhere.

I was following you up this point. The story doesn't say "you will have to notify the gov. of a job change" it says "you will have to ask PERMISSION to change your job."
I think you are, quite sensibly, assuming that this 'permission' is not to be taken literally, and that it really means we'll just have to notify of a job change. I HOPE you are right. but I've found that often, when the J-Gov. says something literal like that, they mean it. Let's hope you're right, but so far, I'm reading the story for what it says. I can't see living someplace where I have to ask permission to change jobs. no fucking way.

However, the carrying of the card makes a clear distinction in those within a special permanent resident such as Japan-South Korea lives country and Korean people and 90 days who short-term reside with mid/long-term those who reside who do not obligate, take part in the crime, and are rolled.

This is the clean up and out any gaijin who isn't under direct JGov./Yakuza (same thing) control.
Whatever though, if you are a legally employed gaijin, you really have nothing to worry about.
And if this new legislation, aside from its proclaimed purpose, serves to crack down on some of the less desirable gaijin elements here (Chinese "masseuses" with int'l student visas particularly come to mind...), I'm for it.

That said, the former company will have to issue tax docs and a release form, the latter of which may be considered relevant to visa status.
I must have done something to get up their nose but I have no idea what it was.
Half of the reason gaijin have so many obstacles in this country is because the actions of non-law abiding foreigners far, far outweigh those of law-abiding foreigners in the eyes of the Japanese.

... Under the plan, foreigners will have to carry with them at all times IC cards that contain information such as their name, nationality, address, birth date, passport number, visa status and place of employment or study. Holders will be required to report any change of address and obtain permission to change jobs ...

Japan plans to expand fingerprinting requirements for foreigners not only upon entry into the country but upon departure as well, as part of crime prevention measures, ruling party lawmakers said Wednesday. The government and the Liberal Democratic Party reached the agreement at a session of the party's panel on foreigners staying illegally in Japan.

If it's an IC chip, that encryption is already available on most cards. By not broadcasting the information over radio waves, casual reads by third parties are impossible.FG Lurker wrote:In either case though I hope they get their encryption systems in order...
