海外の日本人にも10万円給付を外務省へ要望 新型コロナ

Japanese Living Overseas Request to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan for 100,000 yen benefit due New Corona

A group of volunteers requested the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan to provide a uniform cash benefit of 100,000 yen to Japanese living overseas as well as in Japan. Regarding the uniform payment of 100,000 yen in cash, the target is limited to people living in Japan, and for Japanese living overseas, the government is currently not able to accurately grasp information such as name and address. “There are people who do not want to return to Japan, so I want to get relief soon”.

In the Cabinet meeting on the 9th, the Japanese government decided to make an answer to the “special fixed amount benefit” of 100,000 yen per person provided as an emergency economic measure for the new coronavirus. There is an opinion within the Liberal Democratic Party that Japanese nationals abroad should also be targeted, and the party's chairman, Fumio Kishida, resides overseas on the 5th of this month for a special fixed benefit payment of 100,000 yen per Japanese citizen. It was revealed that they are adjusting to add Japanese people.

Aoyama explained to the Japanese people who proposed overseas benefits to Japanese people who were living overseas, “Was we abandoned?”, “Although foreigners in Japan have benefits, they are overseas I think it's strange for the Japanese people to not receive benefits just because they are in the country”. In the US, one taxpayer has already paid $1,200 as a measure to support living in Corona, and it was pointed out that foreigners are not eligible for cash payment. “There are at least 1.4 million Japanese living abroad”.

I have not stayed in Japan because I am staying overseas for more than 3 months. There is also a problem that overseas residents do not have a personal number. In addition, there are cases where Japanese living overseas receive benefits from the government of the country in which they live, such as US$1200, and the direct impact on their lives due to the Japanese government's declaration of an emergency is overseas.
