On February 9, government officials revealed a proposal to ease the strict penalties on foreigners who overstay their visas, under certain conditions.
The amendments, proposed by the Immigration Bureau of Japan, would change the current law so that foreign nationals who are caught overstaying their visas can leave Japan without being deported. Under the proposed rule change, foreigners who declare their intention to leave the country when their overstay is discovered, for example, would be allowed to return in one year, instead of being barred for the current five years.
Intended to speed up the repatriation process by encouraging violators to leave Japan voluntarily, the bill is currently before the Diet and expected to be passed during the current session.

OSAKA – Authorities will soon have a new weapon at their disposal in the fight against COVID-19: fines for those who flout guidelines.
The Diet on Wednesday passed two bills that allow authorities to levy financial punishments on individuals and businesses that violate the government s antivirus measures.
Once they go into force, it will be possible to levy financial penalties on businesses that refuse local government orders to shorten their hours of operation under a state of emergency and individuals who refuse to be hospitalized or tested for the novel coronavirus.
In addition, a revised quarantine law was passed that allows authorities to demand those entering Japan isolate themselves for 14 days at home. Those who refuse will be ordered to quarantine at special facilities. The new measures passed the Diet a day after Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga announced a state of emergency would be extended until March 7 for 10 prefectures, including Tokyo and Osa
