People should be allowed to remain in the country for as long as they like as long as they don't harm anyone or commit serious crimes. There should be no such thing as “over staying” to being with.

And only in 2004 did the government say "Hey, Get Out Of The Country!"? Why on earth did it take them so long. If they'd been more prompt then maybe they'd have just kicked them out without a fuss... But I guess I don't know much about the Visa. Is it normal to hang around for (more than?) six years after your Visa expires? How hard is it to apply for more permanent residency, or an extension? I have no problem with these people living in Japan, and I think the law should allow that. The problem is, I think it does already. It sounds like they've just been lazy, and when they could have been staying perfectly legally, ended up overstaying Visas. If this is the case, it's kind of unfair to others to not extend the same courtesy... Am I right in understanding that they had both *already* overstayed their Visas when they met in 1998?

If they grant this one, shouldn't they just cater to everyone with sob story on how they should stay? Bad call Japan. I say, this was a mistake on the Japanese officials part.

It is an interesting post in comparison with last week's news in the UK that a deported Ghanaian woman, who had been battling cancer, had died as she could not receive treatment in her home country. This woman, a mother of two school-age children, had been removed from hospital in a wheelchair accompanied by five British immigration officials, in January this year.

Are there some kind of support groups I don't know about? "My name is Taskin, and I'm an overstayer." “Taskin and Beltran met each other in 1998 while they were overstaying their visas in Japan”…

Are there some kind of support groups I don’t know about?

“My name is Taskin, and I’m an overstayer.”
