Are you an unemployed foreigner who wants to get the hell out of Japan? Now you've got a free ride, courtesy of the Japanese government. Just don't expect to get back in, though.

Asahi says that those foreigners in Japan on Nikkei visas and are out of a job now have a free plane ticket home. A nice sum of 300,000 yen will be given to the head of the household; 200,000 to dependents. Book your flights -- adios. But there is a cost here: no coming back. If you take payment, you're agreeing to give up the right to claim Japanese heritage to get back into Japan (on a visa) in the future. My guess is that this agreement would be fine by whoever accepts it, though. 

That's kind of nice, don't you think? If you wanna go, go. Oh, and here's some money to do so. Here's some background on who might would be using this.
