　Moreover, because the new system will allow authorities to more accurately track resident status than
　with the previous system, it makes it possible to introduce measures that will improve the convenience
　of foreign nationals who legally reside in Japan, such as a maximum period of stay of five years instead
　of period of three years, and a new reentry permit system that waives reentry permit formalities for
　foreign nationals who leave and reenter Japan within one year of the date of their original departure.
