Japan to end travel support program for evacuees from Ukraine

NHK has learned that the Japanese government’s travel support program for people evacuated from Ukraine to Japan using commercial flights will end this month.

Japan started the program in April last year as an emergency measure following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The government has secured seats on commercial flights from Poland once a week for evacuees from Ukraine, and bears the costs for them.

So far, more than 270 people have used the program to travel to Japan.

The Japanese government will end the program as a new system under the revised immigration law will be launched in December.

Under the new system, people who have fled conflict zones but do not meet Japan’s criteria for refugee status will be given similar safeguards as refugees receive.

The system focuses on helping people settle in Japan. People recognized as eligible for the system will be given the same resident status as those recognized as refugees. They will also be allowed to receive Japanese language lessons and employment support.

Another factor behind the end of the travel support is believed to be the evolving demand. The number of people using the program has decreased slightly to about one person per flight.

The Immigration Services Agency says it will focus on helping evacuees from Ukraine settle in Japan under the new system.
