If the Minister of Justice receives an objection from a foreign national whom a special inquiry officer has found not to conform to the conditions for landing, the Minister will decide whether the objection is with reason: that is, whether the foreign national conforms to the conditions for landing. If the Minister decides that the objection is with reason, permission to land will promptly be given to him. If the Minister decides that the objection is without reason, however, the foreign national will be ordered to leave Japan (Article 11, Paragraphs 3, 4 and 6 of the Immigration Control Act). If a foreign national who is ordered to leave Japan fails to do so without delay, he will be deported.

The Minister of Justice may, even if an objection is found to be without reason, give special permission for landing to a foreign national if the foreign national has received re-entry permission or if the Minister finds that there are special extenuating circumstances that warrant the foreign national to land (the “special permission for landing” provided for in Article 12 of the Immigration Control Act). In accordance with the partial amendment of the Penal Code and relevant laws promulgated on June 22, 2005 (Law No. 66 of 2004), the Minister of Justice may grant special permission for landing to a foreign national if he finds that the foreign national entered Japan under the control of another such as through trafficking in persons. The provisions of this part entered into force on July 22, 2005.

Japanese landing examination procedures for foreign nationals allow a foreign national who is not immediately permitted to land ample opportunity to assert and prove that he does, in fact, meet the conditions for landing. To ensure that the examination is conducted carefully, it is composed of three steps.

(*5) A “special inquiry officer” refers to an immigration inspector designated by the Minister of Justice, who is authorized to hold hearings for landing examination procedures and deportation procedures.
