TOKYO -- Japan will allow foreign housekeepers to stay longer in the country under a program that has brought hundreds here for work as the industry faces a labor shortage.
The government plans to grant a roughly three-year extension for those who entered the country under the program before COVID-19 travel restrictions took effect in 2020 and who meet certain conditions. The program now has a limit of five years.
