Well I guess regardless of who would make the actual system immigration would use, isn’t really too relevant.captainspoke wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2024 10:08 amI guess that's sort of my point--why would immigrations need to design it? Shouldn't those other agencies/entities be doing their own respective parts? Or instead of immigrations (and tax authorities, and health and pension agencies), maybe those designing the overall MyNa system should be building in things that would aid/simplify catching not only PR deadbeats, but also anyone in the non-PR population who is behind on these things?
That the MyNa system would be flagging those with PR (and other types of visa holders), would then be a (simple) side effect of the overall system working to insure that everyone is complying.
It would be immigration’s responsibility to ensure that those who are not paying when they should be paying, get their PR revoked.
It’s would benefit PR applications too, because it would streamline the whole process. Because instead of having to manually provide pension, health insurance, tax documents, for immigration to manually check them. Immigration can just access all that information directly via their own now linked to MyNumber system.
I remember in 2012 when I renewed my UK driving license (don’t worry I was a UK resident back then) and it was great, I didn’t need to provide a new photo, because it automatically got it from my current UK passport. That’s because the UK digital infrastructure has been linked for ages. Japan is now catching up.
