The Immigration Services Agency has updated its webpage providing support information and statistics for Ukrainian evacuees living in Japan, including links to Ukrainian-language resources and a notice seeking volunteers to assist with Ukrainian interpretation support ^[1]. As of September 30, 2026 (preliminary figures), a cumulative total of 2,907 people have entered Japan from Ukraine or third countries since March 2, 2022, for the purpose of evacuation due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine ^[1]. A breakdown by sex shows 888 men and 2,019 women among these arrivals, while by age group there are 359 people under 18, 2,146 people aged 18 to under 61, and 402 people aged 61 or older ^[1]. The agency also reported that 1,925 Ukrainian evacuees currently hold residency status in Japan as of the same date, a figure that excludes those who have already left the country ^[1]. Data broken down by prefecture is available in a separate PDF document linked on the agency's page ^[1]. Separately, the agency noted that 504 Ukrainian evacuees who entered Japan since March 2, 2022, did so without a guarantor at the time of entry ^[1]. The notice also details the government's use of reserve funds for the Ukrainian evacuee support program, including a cabinet decision in fiscal 2021 to use approximately 520 million yen and a further cabinet decision in fiscal 2022 to use approximately 1.9 billion yen ^[1]. According to the disclosed execution details, the Asian Welfare and Educational Foundation was commissioned under a contract initially worth 11,363,696 yen in fiscal 2021, with 4,617,409 yen executed and the remaining 6,746,287 yen returned, while 508,276,785 yen was carried forward ^[1]. For fiscal 2022, the contract with the same foundation was recorded at 508,276,785 yen, later amended on June 28, 2022, to add 1,942,418,000 yen, with 1,841,451,064 yen executed, 50,477 yen returned, and 609,193,244 yen carried forward ^[1]. The agency states these figures are updated monthly, so readers seeking the most current numbers or details on eligibility, application procedures, or interpretation volunteering should consult the official Immigration Services Agency page directly, as the source notice does not provide further specifics on these points.
