They are petitioning for the revision of a new Immigration Bureau guideline, due to go into effect in April 2010, which will require visa renewal applicants to present proof of enrollment in one of the country&#039;s social health insurance programs. They will also petition for amendment of the National Health Insurance Law to allow expatriates the right to use private or international health insurance in lieu of Japan&#039;s universal health care.
