Logistics Warehouse SSW Operational Guidelines Published
Japan has just opened up a fresh route for skilled professionals.
Immigration Services Agency and Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism published operational guidelines for Specified Skilled Worker status in logistics warehouses on September 18, 2026. This concerns the Specified Skilled Worker (i) in Japan.
Why this matters if you're planning to move abroad
Immigration rules shift constantly, and a single change to a route like the Specified Skilled Worker (i) can affect your eligibility, timeline, or costs. For Indian professionals weighing a move to Japan, staying on top of these updates is the difference between applying at the right moment and missing a window.
