Here’s the tea: children of illegal refugees were NOT allowed to proceed to higher education.
Yes, it’s emotionally difficult. No child chooses their parents’ decisions. But immigration systems are not built on feelings. Access to public institutions requires legal status.
You come to Japan, apply for asylum, lose your asylum status, continue living here illegally, and then expect taxpayer-funded education as if nothing happened? No, thank you!

This is the uncomfortable truth about Japan 🇯🇵
You can graduate from a top Japanese university.
You can have world-class skills.
You can even be #1 at what you do.
But without Japanese, your opportunities in Japan are limited 😔
If your goal is to live, work, and truly settle in Japan, coming to a Japanese language school is one of the best decisions you can make 🧠
Language is not just another tool in Japan; it’s EVERYTHING! 🙅

If Japan wants to protect its education system, then we need to: MAKE STUDENT VISAS STRICTER FOR LANGUAGE SCHOOLS AND CERTAIN UNIVERSITIES.
Right now, the student visa system is being abused by many students, especially from Langauge schools and a few universities, where they just use it as a tool to step into Japan.
They come to Japan and then:
🙅 They don’t respect the laws.
🙅 They work over 28 hours.
🙅 They take unreported “cash” jobs.
🙅 They have no respect for Japan.
🙅 Use their cars as airport pickup or tourism company
These need to stop.
It already started in other countries.
🇬🇧 UK have stopped giving visas for certain universities.
🇺🇸 It’s significantly harder to get a student visa for community colleges or certain universities in the US.
🇦🇺 It is significantly harder to get a visa for TAFE (diplomas) in Australia.
Just today, Australia have moved Bangaldesh to level 3 which means “high risk” for visa issuance.
If you see the scenario of Japan, you’ll see that most over-work is done by Langauge school students (it’s an open secret by now) who come here with the core intention to work at convenience stores or Yamato and SUPPORT THEIR FAMILIES, not study!
If I talk about universities, you’ll notice that majority of the Bangladeshi undergraduate students come to just 2/3 universities. Many of these students work in Yamato overnight and break the #1 visa requirement: “STUDY COMES FIRST”. Many of them, even use their cars to start delivery or transportation businesses which is also illegal.
I, myself, am associated with student agency business and bring students to Japan. So yes, even this business will be affected. But I don’t care, because for me, I respect Japan and its people way too much over profit.
Therefore, if Japan keeps pretending all institutions are equal, the system will collapse under abuse and if you are a GENUINE STUDENT, you will suffer first.

If you’re working over 28-hours, it’s time to say goodbye to Japan ‼️
According to Watanabe-san, one of Japan’s most respected immigration lawyers, student visa will significantly tighten in 2026.
Immigration can now trace:
✅ Actual part-time work hours
✅ Unreported cash jobs
✅ Employer–visa mismatches
✅ National Health Insurance & residence tax
✅ Company compliance
✅ Visa declarations vs reality
The old assumptions like “Immigration won’t know” or “cash jobs are safe” are over 🙅
So if your goal in 2026 is to work over 28-hours and pay your tuition, you need to change your plans 🤫
⛔️ Don’t come to Japan, if you can’t afford it ⛔️

Make Japan a hell for unlawful FOREIGNERS! 🔥
❌ Students who work beyond the legal 28-hour limit
❌ Students who mis-use student visas as work visas
❌ Foreigners who do not enroll in national health insurance
❌ Foreigners who avoid paying residence tax
❌ Foreigners who break traffic laws
❌ Unlawful foreigners who overstay visas
❌ Unlawful foreigners who use fake documents
❌ Unlawful foreigners who abuse Japan’s systems and trust
Respect the law or face consequences. SIMPLE!
This is my wish for Japan in 2026. Happy New Year! 🇯🇵

In my opinion, Sanae Takaichi is NOT trying to integrate foreigners. She is trying to control them.
If social harmony were truly her goal, we would see more long-term solutions instead of policies driven by fear and symbolism.
Japan is shrinking 📉
Japan is aging 👴👵
Japan already depends on foreigners 💼
Yet foreign residents continue to be treated as temporary instruments rather than long-term members of society.
From where I stand, this is not responsible leadership. It is a failure of vision 🇯🇵

You know what I’ve noticed in the past few weeks?
The people who debated me against Japan’s new prime minister, Sanae Takaichi are either:
✅ From Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU)
✅ From Tokyo International University (TIU)
✅ Gaijins who do illegal work in Japan
Based on my interactions, the first two group of people are essentially “dumb”. Most (not all) of the students / graduates I’ve met from these two universities cannot hold a logical argument, so I’m not surprised 🤷🏽
The third group is breaking laws in Japan and comes here to lecture me saying I’m jealous of them because “I don’t do illegal works” 😂
But you know what else I’ve also noticed?
✅ Most of my Japanese friends support Takaichi.
✅ My Japanese family supports Takaichi.
✅ Foreigners who have settled in japan support Takaichi.
✅ Law-abiding citizens support Takaichi.
✅ Residents from developed countries support Takaichi.
So the pattern is simple; majority of the people I’ve met who support Sanae Takaichi live here, follow the rules, and understand the “JAPAN FIRST” policy. She works for Japan; not for FOREIGNERS!

Back in Sendai after 3 years.
Familiar, yet so different.
More tourists. More English being spoken.
Bullet trains packed. Hotels pricier. Food costs higher.
The city feels busier: more cars, more movement, more energy.
And yet… the warmth is still there.
I loved every bit of being back. 💙
➡️ In my next post; I’ll be sharing some of the top English-medium universities in Sendai if you’re thinking about studying outside Tokyo.

NO MORE WORKING OVER 28 HOURS!
Japan Is FINALLY fixing the system. From 2026, Japan will track salaries, monitor working hours, and strictly enforce part-time job rules.
Let’s be clear 👇
🎓 You came to study
⏱️ Not to work over 28 hours
🚫 Not to break immigration rules
If you respect the system, you have nothing to fear.
If you don’t, the system will now catch you. You didn’t “outsmart the system.” You abused it!
Respect the visa!
Respect the country!
Respect the opportunity!
