the audits, and to clarify the misconduct applicable in cases of audits not being properly implemented.

## Section 2 ☐ Responses to Cases of Inappropriate Acceptance

Under the provisions including the Ordinance of the Ministry of Justice, the Immigration Bureau may render a finding of “misconduct” with regard to organizations that have acted inappropriately in implementing their training and technical intern training programs. The Immigration Bureau suspends such organizations from accepting trainees and technical interns for one, three or five years depending on the type of misconduct as stipulated in the ministerial ordinance. The number of organizations to which the Ministry of Justice sent notifications that they were found to have engaged in “misconduct” during the year 2014 was 241.

According to the type of receiving arrangement, all organizations were accepting trainees under the association-supervised scheme (no organizations accepted trainees under the company-arranged scheme), and taking a look by type of receiving organization, there were 23 supervising organizations (9.5%) and 218 implementing organizations (90.5%) (Table 17).

Table 17 Changes in the number of organizations subject to a finding of misconduct by type of receiving arrangement

Implementing organization (Secondary receiving organization)	143	168	188	210	218
Total	163	184	197	230	241

“Nonpayment”, “Engaging in work activities during course study period”, and “Discrepancy compared with the Technical Intern Training Plan” were the three major forms of “misconduct”, in total accounting for 70.9% of the total (Table 18).

With respect to the training and technical intern training, as described above, there are still a considerable number of organizations committing inappropriate conduct even after the introduction of the current system. Therefore, the Immigration Bureau will endeavor to continue checking the situation, closely coordinate with the relevant institutions, and actively conduct research into the facts, requesting organizations which are committing inappropriate conduct to take corrective measures as necessary.

Chart 14 Changes in the number of Japanese nationals departing from Japan

## ② Number of Japanese Nationals Departing from Japan by Gender and Age

According to the statistics by gender, the number of Japanese nationals departing from Japan in 2014 was composed of 9,529,473 males and 7,373,915 females; males accounted for 56.4% of the total and females accounted for 43.6%. There have been no significant changes in the percentages of either males or females since 2001, and the percentage of males continues to exceed that of females.

Chart 15 Number of Japanese nationals departing from Japan by gender and age (2014)

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

According to the statistics of Japanese nationals departing from Japan in 2014 by airport and seaport of departure, the number of persons using airports to depart from Japan was 16,745,811, accounting for 99.1% of the total. When compared with the percentage of foreign nationals entering Japan (foreign nationals using airports accounted for 95.5%), the percentage of airport users is much higher.

Of the Japanese nationals using airports to depart from Japan in 2014, the number of users of Narita Airport was 7,069,294, which accounted for 42.2% of the total number of persons using airports to depart from Japan, and those using Haneda Airport was 3,502,415, which accounted for 20.9%, and those using Kansai Airport was 3,224,562, which accounted for 19.3%. This means that 82.4% of the total number of persons departing from airports used these three airports.

On the other hand, of the Japanese nationals using seaports to depart from Japan in 2014, the number of users of Hakata Port, where scheduled passenger ships operate between Japan and R.O.Korea, was 71,542, which accounted for 45.4% of the total number of persons departing from seaports, followed by Yokohama Port, 12,172, accounting for 7.7%, Shimonoseki Port, 11,394, accounting for 7.2%. This means that 60.4% of the total number of Japanese nationals departing from seaports used these three seaports. Kobe Port, 6,185, accounting for 3.9%, Tokyo Port, 4,745, accounting for 3.0% and Naha Port, 4,646, accounting for 2.9% followed these three major seaports.
## Section 2 ◆ Number of Japanese Nationals Returning to Japan

Airport landing examination

The total number of returning Japanese nationals in 2014 was 16,915,797. By period of stay in foreign countries after departure, the number of persons returning within one month after departure was 15,336,817, which accounted for 90.7% of the total. Of those, the number of persons returning within ten days was 13,799,136, which accounted for 90.0% of those who returned within one month after departure.

This is thought to be 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 19).

### Chapter 5. Deportation Procedures for Foreign Nationals

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

Investigation of violation

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 60,007 as of January 1, 2015, an increase of 946 (1.6%) from 59,061 at January 1, 2014, and it increased for the first time in 22 years after a record high of 298,646 on May 1, 1993.

This is thought to be because initially the number of foreign nationals staying beyond their authorized period of stay was greatly reduced owing to crackdowns which were continuously being implemented to expose illegal immigrants, but recently smaller groups of illegal immigrants are spreading out throughout the country which is making large-scale crackdowns difficult and the number of foreign nationals undergoing the deportation procedures is seeing a downward trend. Meanwhile, in recent years, the entire government has been working on promoting Japan as a tourism-oriented country, and as a result of the visa waiver and visa requirement easing measures vis-à-vis the ASEAN countries implemented since July 1, 2013, the number of foreign entrants in 2014 had significantly increased compared with the previous year, and this is believed to have had some impact on the increasing number of foreign nationals staying beyond their authorized period of stay.

## 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, 2015, the nationality/region of the largest number of foreign nationals overstaying their authorized period of stay was R.O.Korea (13,634, accounting for 22.7%), followed by China (8,647, accounting for 14.4%), Thailand (5,277, accounting for 8.8%), the Philippines (4,991, accounting for 8.3%), Taiwan (3,532, accounting for 5.9%).
Chart 16 Changes in the estimated number of foreign nationals staying beyond the authorized period of stay by major nationality/region

## ② Number of Foreign Nationals Overstaying Their Authorized Period of Stay by Status of Residence

Taking a look at the foreign nationals illegally staying beyond their authorized period of stay as of January 1, 2015 by status of residence prior to illegally overstaying in Japan, the number of foreign nationals with the status of residence of “Temporary Visitor” continued from 2014 to make up the largest number at 41,090 accounting for 68.5% of the total number followed by “Spouse or Child of Japanese National” at 3,709, accounting for 6.2%, “Technical Intern Training (ii)-(b)” at 2,831 accounting for 4.7%, “Student” at 2,806, accounting for 4.7%, “Long-Term Resident” at 1,889, accounting for 3.1%, and when compared to the previous year, while the number of “Temporary Visitor” by 313 (0.8%), “Spouse or Child of Japanese National” by 10 (0.3%), and “Long-Term Resident” by 65 (3.3%) decreased, “Technical Intern Training (ii)-(b)” by 1,132 (66.6%) and “Student” by 29 (1.0%) increased (Table 21).

$ ^{*} $ The number of foreign nationals overstaying with the status of residence of “Student” includes the number of foreign nationals whose status of residence was “Pre-college Student” under the previous Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act, which was revised on July 1, 2010, at the time when they came to be considered to be overstaying.

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

## 1 Outline

In 2014, the number of foreign nationals against whom deportation procedures were enforced on account of violation of the Immigration Control Act was 10,676, a decline of 752 from 2013. Of these, 2,587 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 (8,274, accounting for 77.5%), followed by illegal entry (844, accounting for 7.9%) and activities other than those permitted under the status of residence previously granted (422, accounting for 4.0%). Foreign nationals overstaying their authorized period of stay have continued to account for a predominant percentage (Table 22).

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 12 consecutive years (3,975, accounting for 37.2%), followed by the Philippines (1,414, accounting for 13.2%), and Viet Nam (953, accounting for 8.9%). These top three countries made up 59.4% of the total (Table 23).

## ② 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 2014, the number of illegal entrants $ (*) $ was 844, accounting for 7.9%, a decline of 284 (25.2%) from 2013. 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.

According to the statistics by nationality/region, the largest number of illegal entrants was from China (262, accounting for 31.0%), followed by the Philippines (214, accounting for 25.4%) and R.O.Korea (69, accounting for 8.2%), and there has been no change in the order of the top two countries since 2002 (Table 24).

According to the statistics by means of transportation utilized for illegal entry, the number of illegal entrants using aircraft was 640, accounting for 75.8%, a decline of 184 (22.3%) from 2013, and therefore, illegal entry using aircraft as a percentage of the total is still high. Meanwhile, the number of foreign nationals against whom deportation procedures were enforced for illegal entry by a vessel was 204, accounting for 24.2%, a decline of 100 (32.9%) from 2013 (Table 25, 26).

## (4) Activity Other Than Those Permitted by the Status of Residence Previously Granted

If a foreign national residing in Japan clearly engages solely in working activities, such as the ones for which he/she receives remuneration, other than those permitted for the status of residence previously granted without obtaining the required permission, deportation procedures will be enforced on grounds of engaging in activities other than those permitted under the status of residence previously granted. The number of foreign nationals against whom deportation procedures were enforced in 2014 was 422, accounting for 4.0%, a decrease of 71 (14.4%) from 2013.

Accordingly to the statistics by nationality/region, the largest number was from China (167, accounting for 39.6%), followed by Viet Nam (110, accounting for 26.1%), R.O.Korea (48, accounting for 11.4%), and these top three countries accounted for 77.0% of the total (Table 29).
