Japan Stimulus Money Confirmed for all Residents including Foreigners holding Resident Cards

Japan Government announces Stimulus money to all their residents due to the CoVid-19 emergency: CoronaVirus and it's lockdown all around the world hit the public economically to lead their routine life. Meanwhile, countries like America and India have already engaged in providing stimulus money to their citizens.

Similarly, Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made an official announcement to payout 1,00,000 yen i.e., $930 to each of their citizens suffering from CoronaVirus pandemic.

The stimulus money declared by the Japanese government will be available for all the Basic registered residents of Japan. In addition, Foreigners holding Resident Cards are also declared eligible to get stimulus money.

To get the subsidy, residents are requested to fill the application form sent to everybody's email by the local government. If not email, postal cards will reach every household in person, and the leader of the house can apply for the stimulus money.

However, social distancing is the key factor practising all over the country to control the CoVid contagion, and the Japanese government strictly ruled to get the stimulus via bank accounts and not in person.

In case of zero bank accounts, local government will make possible arrangements to make money reach their remote citizens without contacting each other. Citizens holding 'My Number Card' can directly apply for the subsidy via a website by verifying the identity online.

As per the Japan Finance Minister Taro Aso's statement on April 17, it is confirmed that the subsidy will be in the hands of citizen by May. However, already shortlisted low-income residents covering 3,00,000 yen initially will be columned first to disperse in order to overcome the poverty of the people.

Somehow, it will take more time to cover the subsidy budget expense. This is why doubts arise if the government can make out the payment within May and how effectively the local government will be able to distribute the stimulus money.

The new subsidy plan requires nearly 12.6 trillion yen to cover the emergency stimulus money, which triples the amount calculated prior in covering 3,00,000 yen for the low-income residents.

With almost 9000 CoVid infections and 200 deaths around the country, Finance Minister Taro Aso claimed that "We think the most important thing is to proceed with this speedily."

Above all, the Japanese government requests people to stay inside; instead, there are no steps carried out legally.
