For Overstayers

Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act. stipulates that any overstayer may be put into custody, deported from Japan and will be rejected to enter in Japan for at least 5 years after the date of deportation. On the other hand, the new residency management system encourages foreign nationals who concern about their illegal stay to appear voluntarily at a regional immigration bureau, that is to say, "Departure Order System" and "Special Permission to Stay in Japan".

Departure Order System

Foreign nationals who remain in Japan after the expiration of their period of stay and whish to their home countries are allowed to leave Japan without custody, and the "reentry prohibited period" shall be one year.
