How to eliminate overstay

Overstay, also known as “illegal stay”, contains two meanings to be precise:

  1. Illegal entry : When there is an illegality at the time of entry.
    When you use a counterfeit passport, enter the country by false name, age, nationality, etc., or enter the country without going to the country without immigration.
  2. illegal residency
    A person who has obtained a suitable residency status and stayed in Japan even after the expiration of his/her residency status has expired.

In both of the above cases, overstaying may be a reason for deportation, so you may be arrested or prosecuted.

If you are deported back to your home country, you will not be able to re-land in Japan for five years.

Moreover, even if the re-landing prohibition period passes, it is not always possible to obtain the next visa. The reason is that it becomes difficult to obtain the visa than usual because the fact that it overstay is recorded by the immigration tract.

When applying for a special residence permit, be aware that there is a risk of deportation (forced deportation) if not granted.
