The Ministry of Justice has established guidelines that set out standards for special permission for the residence of foreign nationals who are staying illegally, at the discretion of the Minister of Justice, and a proposal to revise these guidelines has been revealed.
Even if a child does not have a status of residence, if the parents are integrated into the local community and the child is receiving long-term education, consideration will be given to allowing the child to remain in the country.
Regarding foreigners staying illegally, the Immigration Services Agency has established guidelines that set out standards for special permission to stay at the discretion of the Minister of Justice. We have put together a revised proposal in light of the fact that it is unclear whether or not this will be allowed.
According to this, ▽If the parents have integrated into the local community and received education in Japan for a long period of time even if they do not have a status of residence, ▽If the child has entered the country with a regular residence status and has been working for a long time, We will consider allowing them to stay even if their status expires.
On the other hand, cases such as those who were detained in a national facility due to illegal entry and then disappeared while on provisional release, or cases where the period of illegal stay is quite long, etc. This means that we will consider not allowing them to stay in the country.
