Japan is unlikely to expand the cap for the Specified Skilled Workers Type I visa category, despite mounting pressure and requests from business groups to reconsider current restrictions amid severe labor shortages. The food-service industry has been particularly vocal after applications were halted when reaching the 50,000 worker limit. Although the government plans to tweak the program next April to allow more foreign workers specifically for meal services at medical and welfare facilities, the minister in charge has indicated that overall demand for this special visa category is expected to eventually decline.
