## Section 3 ☐ Revision of the System of Technical Intern Training

At the time of the amendment of the Immigration Control Act in 2009 when revisions were made leading to the current system of technical intern training, the Judicial Affairs Committee of both the House of Representatives and the House of Councilors each added supplementary resolutions, and it was decided that whether or not to fundamentally revise the role of the system of technical intern training would be studied in a comprehensive manner.

Some criticism was also expressed that the system of technical intern training is not being properly and strictly operated in line with the true spirit and purpose of the system, which is to make an international contribution through the transfer of skills, as is shown by the existence of supervising organizations and implementing organizations, which do not understand the purpose of the system and are conducting improper acceptance.

On the other hand, from the perspective of expanding the system of technical intern training and owing to the many requests received from those in the related industries to extend the period of the technical intern training and increase the quota of trainees, a major revision of the entire system is required.

Owing to such circumstances, since there was an urgent need to consider the direction of the revision of the system at the earliest possible date, the “Sub-panel for Discussion on the System for the Acceptance of Foreign Nationals” was established under the Immigration Policy Discussion Panel, a private advisory group of the Minister of Justice, in order to hear opinions from experts from various fields. Discussions were held by the Sub-panel since November 2013 with regard to the system of technical intern training, and a report on the results relating to the direction of the revision of the system of technical intern training was compiled and submitted to the Minister of Justice in June 2014.

Chart 22 Outline of the results of the study on revision of the system of technical intern training

$ ^{*} $ In addition, further consideration is required with regard to whether or not to accept foreign nationals in fields which generally are not suitable for technical intern training, and in the event of acceptance, the method of acceptance.

## ③ The Number of Japanese Nationals Departing from Japan by Airport and Seaport

According to the statistics of Japanese nationals departing from Japan in 2013 by airport and seaport of departure, the number of persons using airports to depart from Japan was 17,308,131, accounting for 99.1% of the total.

This means that 66.4% of the total number of persons departing from airports use these two airports. Other than Narita and Kansai airports, the number of users of Haneda Airport was 2,663,684, accounting for 15.4%, while the number of users of Chubu Airport was 1,530,321, accounting for 8.8%.

Korea, was 94,150, which accounted for 57.2% of the total number of persons departing from seaports, and the number using Yokohama Port was 13,251, which accounted for 8.0% of the total. This means that 65.2% of the total number of Japanese nationals departing from seaports used these two seaports. Shimonoseki Port, 12,937, accounting for 7.9%, Kobe Port, 6,658, accounting for 4.0% and Osaka Port, 5,058, accounting for 3.1% followed these two major seaports.
## Section 2 ◆ The Number of Japanese Nationals Returning to Japan

Airport landing examination

The total number of returning Japanese nationals in 2013 was 17,421,997. By period of stay in foreign countries after departure, the number of persons returning within one month after departure was 15,859,880, which accounted for 91.0% of the total. Of those, the number of persons returning within ten days was 14,321,039, which accounted for 90.3% of those who returned within one month after departure.

This is because most Japanese tourists going abroad who depart for a purpose requiring only a short period such as sightseeing and business return promptly. This trend has continued in recent years and no major change has been observed (Table 21).

### Chapter 5. Deportation Procedures for Foreign Nationals

## Section 1 ☐ Foreign Nationals Overstaying Their Authorized Period of Stay

Based on the computer statistics of the Immigration Bureau, the estimated number of foreign nationals who overstayed (those who illegally stay in Japan beyond their authorized period of stay) was 59,061 as of January 1, 2014. This number has been steadily decreasing, a decline of 2,948 (4.8%) from 62,009 on January 1, 2013, in other words, a decline of 239,585 (80.2%) from a record high of 298,646 on May 1, 1993.

This decline may be attributed to the effects of comprehensive countermeasures, including the implementation of stricter immigration examinations at the port of entry, and efforts for close cooperation with other related agencies to detect violators of the Immigration Control Act as well as proactive public relation activities to prevent illegal employment.

Investigation into a violation

## The Number of Foreign Nationals Overstaying Their Authorized Period of Stay by Nationality/Region

As of May 1, 1993, when the highest number of foreign nationals overstaying their authorized period of stay was recorded, the nationality/region of the largest number of foreign nationals was Thailand, followed by R.O. Korea, the Philippines, China and Malaysia. As of January 1, 2014, the nationality/region of the largest number of foreign nationals overstaying their authorized period of stay was R.O. Korea (14,233, accounting for 24.1% of the total), followed by China (8,257, accounting for 14.0%), the Philippines (5,117, accounting for 8.7%), Thailand (4,391, accounting for 7.4%), Taiwan (3,557, accounting for 6.0%), Malaysia (1,819, accounting for 3.1%), and Viet Nam (1,471, accounting for 2.5%).

Taking a look at the changes after May 1, 1993, although new entries increased significantly owing to visa-exemption measures being implemented with regard to R.O. Korea for those foreign nationals intending to engage in activities that may be performed under the status of residence of “Temporary Visitor”, the number of those found overstaying from R.O. Korea has been consistently decreasing since January 1, 1999. The number of those from Thailand had been steadily decreasing since May 1, 1993, but because of the impact of the substantial increase in the number of foreign nationals from Thailand newly entering Japan with the status of residence of “Temporary Visitor” due to the measure taken to deregulate visas in July 2013, the number of those from Thailand saw an increase of 833 (23.4%) compared to January 1, 2013. In addition, with regard to the number of those from Viet Nam, the number had increased by 361 (32.5%) compared to January 1, 2013, which was an increase for two consecutive years (Table 22, Chart 25).

## Section 2 ☐ Cases of Violation of the Immigration Control Act Necessitating the Implementation of Deportation Procedures

## 1 Outline

In 2013, the number of foreign nationals against whom deportation procedures were enforced on account of violation of the Immigration Control Act was 11,428, a decline of 3,750 from 2012. Of these, 2,479 were handed over to immigration inspectors as those subject to the departure order system.

According to the statistics of the number of foreign nationals by grounds for deportation, the largest number of foreign nationals were deported for overstaying (8,713, accounting for 76.2%), followed by illegal entry (1,128, accounting for 9.9%) and activities other than those permitted under the status of residence previously granted (493, accounting for 4.3%). Foreign nationals overstaying their authorized period of stay continued to account for a predominant percentage (Table 24).

Looking at the statistics for the number of cases of violation of the Immigration Control Act by nationality/region, the largest number of such foreign nationals was from China for 11 consecutive years (4,044, accounting for 35.4%), followed by the Philippines (1,778, accounting for 15.6%), and R.O. Korea (1,336, accounting for 11.7%). These top three countries made up 62.6% of the total (Table 25).

Of the foreign nationals in violation of the Immigration Control Act against whom the deportation procedures were enforced in 2013, the number of those who illegally worked in Japan was 7,038, accounting for 61.6% of the total.

## ② The Number of Cases of Violation of the Immigration Control Act by Grounds for Deportation

## (1) Illegal Entry

Of the foreign nationals against whom the deportation procedures were enforced for being in violation of the Immigration Control Act in 2013, the number of illegal entrants $ (*) $ was 1,128, accounting for 9.9%, a decline of 747 (39.8%) from 2012. Looking at past records, the number increased after 2003 but started to decrease after 2006. Since the number of illegal entrants as a percentage of the total number of foreign nationals in violation of the Immigration Control Act is decreasing, it is considered that the countermeasures to prevent illegal entry have been quite effective.
