Japanese authorities arrested a 72-year-old South Korean man for overstaying his tourist visa by an astonishing 26 years. The man initially entered Japan in September 1993 on a 15-day visa, reportedly using his brother’s passport. He allegedly remained in the country seeking better employment opportunities. For over a quarter of a century he lived in Japan while being in violation of immigration law. The arrest highlights ongoing concerns about long-term visa overstays within Japan. Police are currently investigating the details surrounding his decades-long stay and how he managed to avoid detection for so long. Further details regarding possible deportation proceedings are pending.
