Finally "My Number" is issued from next month. About this my number is, to expand the use of a personal identification number to improve tax collection, despite ongoing concerns over the potential leak of private information and identity theft.  In that case, Foreigner with a visa, such as a medium- to long-term resident's "College Student" and "technology and humanities knowledge and international business", "business management" over 1 million people　will be affected.

Under the law, the government will set up a committee in January next year to monitor the way companies are handling data, aiming to prevent leaks or abuse of personal information. So, nothing we can say immediately.  However, you must be careful because the company has been registered in Japan, (it would be owners, Japanese, and that it would be Chinese), as with individuals. The change will allow companies to use massive amounts of personal information, dubbed “big data,” for commercial purposes. Under the My Number system, all residents, including non-Japanese, will be assigned a 12-digit identification number starting in October.

 

After My Number System, what will happen?

 Under changes to the so-called My Number system, personal ID numbers can be linked to people’s bank account numbers from 2018. Although such links will be made initially on a voluntary basis, the government is considering making it mandatory from 2021.

The amendment will make it easier for the government to discover tax evasion or welfare benefits fraud by having better access to information on people’s assets.

The revision will also expand the use of ID numbers to track records of vaccinations and health checks. So far, the person who is having a part-time job in the two companies, the person who are hiding a time limit of over 28 hours that could be easily exposed.

 

In short, there are so many people having the dependent visa, who are working with over 28 hours they could fall in the great problem and could get penalty on future, so better to be careful.

 

In addition, in permanent residence visa and Japanese spouse visa, people do not have to worry about visa and also no need to concern about it. but those who is getting their salary By cash and those who is  not paying  taxes Properly, there must have  created  many problems so must be paid tax.

However, those people who observed the rules and regulation of japan there is nothing to worry about.

 

To live long in Japan, while not knowing the Japanese rules and regulations, it`s really very hard to survive.

People who want to protect the visa and also people who are worrying about their visa please concern to the visa experts as soon as possible.
