जापान में 30 साल रहकर भारतीय ने खड़ा किया कारोबार, डिपोर्टेशन का मिला आदेश तो फूट-फूटकर रोया – Indian Restaurant Owner in Tears as Japan New Immigration Rules force him to Leave ntc dpmx
An emotional video of Indian restaurateur Manish Kumar, who has been living in Japan for almost three decades, is becoming increasingly viral on social media. In the video, Manish Kumar is seen crying over not renewing his business visa due to Japan’s strict immigration rules. He said that now he has to close his 18 year old restaurant and prepare to return to India.
Japan Manish Kumar, who runs an Indian restaurant in Saitama, said that Japan’s Immigration Services Agency has rejected his visa application under the revised rules. Due to this, the future of his family is in danger. Manish Kumar became emotional while giving a speech at a program organized on 13 May. In the viral video, he is seen saying, ‘My children speak only Japanese. He was born here, studied here and all his friends are Japanese. We bought a house here, built a life, but now suddenly we are being told to return to India. Is this humanity?’
He said that with the support of local people and administration, he made his mark in Japan after years of hard work. Manish said, ‘I did not do anything wrong. Asking someone to return to their country just because the rules suddenly changed is very cruel. According to reports, Manish Kumar renewed his visa over the years, but did not apply for permanent citizenship or Japanese citizenship. For this reason, after the implementation of the new rules, they could not meet the revised eligibility standards.
It was not clear whether his curry restaurant in Saitama, near Tokyo, was still operational. Actually, Japan had made a major change in the rules related to business manager visa last year. Under the new rules, the minimum investment limit was increased from 5 million yen to 30 million yen (about 1.9 million dollars). Japanese officials said that the visa system was being misused for migration and the investigation had revealed many shell companies.
Apart from this, Japanese language has also been made mandatory in the new rules. According to reports, now applicants or full-time employees will have to show proficiency in Japanese language up to JLPT N2 level. According to Japanese media reports, after the implementation of the new rules, applications for business manager visas have declined by about 96 percent. Meanwhile, about 60 thousand people have signed an online petition started demanding review of the revised visa rules. This petition was submitted to Japan’s Immigration Services Agency this week.
Manish Kumar’s case has now become a subject of great debate regarding Japan’s immigration policy and the status of foreign citizens living there for a long time. Many people on social media are raising questions as to why foreign citizens are suddenly facing legal uncertainty despite years of paying taxes, setting up businesses and becoming a part of the society.
