ウクライナ避難民、就労可能に　期限１年、更新も―古川法相

　古川禎久法相は１５日の閣議後の記者会見で、日本に「短期滞在」（９０日間）の資格で入国したウクライナ人の避難民について、１年の期限で就労可能な「特定活動」に在留資格を切り替えることを希望すれば認めると発表した。期限の更新も可能とする。
　出入国在留管理庁によると、ロシアの軍事侵攻から逃れるため日本に入国したウクライナ人は、岸田文雄首相が受け入れを表明した今月２日から１３日までに４７人。在留資格はいずれも短期滞在となっている。特定活動に変更すれば住民登録も可能になり、国民健康保険加入など行政サービスを受けられる。（2022/03/15-10:14）

Ukrainians who have fled to Japan amid Russia's invasion of their country will be able to get resident status allowing them to work in the Asian country, Japanese Justice Minister Yoshihisa Furukawa said Tuesday.
   Ukrainian evacuees entering Japan with a 90-day short-stay visa can switch to "designated activities" status, which allows them to work for up to one year, if they wish, Furukawa told a press conference. The designated activities status can be renewed, the minister added.
   Between March 2, when Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced his country's decision to accept evacuees from Ukraine, and Sunday, a total of 47 Ukrainians fled their country to Japan amid the Russian invasion.
   All of them entered Japan with the short-stay visa. They will be able to register themselves as residents of Japan and receive public services, such as accession to the country's health insurance programs, if they change their visa status to designated activities.
