Foreign driver recruitment is garnering attention as a solution to the increasingly serious shortage of labor in the logistics and transport industry. While the regulatory framework for acceptance, such as the Specified Skilled Worker 'Automotive Transport' field, was completed in 2024, many companies are struggling to take the first step. Challenges include license conversion ('gamen kirikae') and adapting to Japanese driving rules and customs. Furthermore, the significant tightening of the foreign license conversion system in October 2025 has made it difficult for companies to grasp and comply with the latest policies.

In light of this, PERSOL Global Workforce is holding this seminar to provide not only an overview of the system but also concrete, practical information needed in the field. We hope this seminar will help attendees form a concrete image of what it means to hire foreign drivers, covering everything from license acquisition to actual day-to-day operations.
