Japan has deported a citizen of Uzbekistan for illegal stay
The Immigration Services Agency of Japan has deported a citizen of the republic who was in the country illegally back to Uzbekistan. This was reported by the Embassy of Japan in the Republic of Uzbekistan.
As specified by the diplomatic mission, the deportee arrived in Japan on a short-term visa, then remained in the country after its expiration, and was later detained by the authorities.
The embassy reminded that a student visa is intended for studying and cannot be used as a way to earn money. If illegal stay or illegal work is detected, strict measures are applied to violators — detention and arrest by the police, placement in an immigration center, and deportation. The Government of Japan transfers information about violators to the Government of Uzbekistan, after which appropriate measures may be applied to those who have returned to their homeland. The diplomatic mission urged citizens to be extremely cautious and not to believe offers such as "you can work in Japan."
In addition, the embassy pointed out a common misconception that applying for refugee status in Japan allows one to "stay in the country for a long time" or "work." It is forbidden to submit such an application for this purpose: if the recognition of refugee status is denied, the applicant may be placed in an immigration center or deported. Providing false information or using fraudulent methods when applying for refugee status can lead to serious legal consequences.
