Previously, this URL contained a SoraNews24 April Fool’s Day article written in 2018, the topic of which was a fictitious “breeding visa program,” in which foreign visitors would be allowed to briefly reside in Japan in order to have babies with locals in order to increase Japan’s birth rate.
Unfortunately, recently rumors have been spreading online that the Japanese government is actually offering breeding visas. To help stop the spread of this mistake, SoraNews24’s ownership has made the decision to remove the original article.
To reiterate, there is no breeding visa program in Japan. There never was a breeding visa program. There isn’t going to be a breeding visa program.
Thank you for your understanding, and for reading SoraNews24.
