1. “Highly Skilled Professional I & II” will be newly established to give current “Highly Skilled Foreign Professional” further convenience,

2. “Investor/Business Manager” will be simplified to “Business Manager”, including operation of/investment in businesses funded by Japanese nationals,

3. “Engineer” and “Specialist in Humanities/International Services” will be bound into one status.
