JJS Co., Ltd. has released a report predicting that five sectors under the Specific Skilled Worker (i) visa program, including Automobile Maintenance and Accommodation, will likely reach their intake limits by 2027. Due to rapid growth, sectors like Automobile Maintenance may stop accepting new applications as early as February 2027. Businesses are urged to monitor the 'X-Day' of intake suspension and accelerate their recruitment schedules to secure necessary foreign labor before quotas are exhausted.
