Examples of Deregulation Proposals Being Solicited
Regarding English-Language Administrative Procedures

Due to the language barrier, application procedures, such as forms available only in Japanese, can be difficult to complete.This proposal seeks improvements to make these procedures accessible to non-Japanese speakers.
(Including the provision of application instructions, application forms, and required documents in English.)
Regarding Residency Status
-
An entrepreneur wishes to start a business in Osaka, but their spouse is employed in their home country and unable to accompany them, making it difficult to proceed with the business. This proposal aims to grant the spouse a residence status that permits remote work during the entrepreneur’s stay under the Business Manager Visa.
(This has been proposed as a relaxation of Residence Status under Article 33.) -

Regarding the Regulatory Sandbox System
