A 40-year-old Vietnamese man was arrested in Fukuoka for overstaying his visa after voluntarily surrendering to police. He had entered Japan in June 2023 as a technical trainee but remained in the country after his visa expired in June 2024. He told police he knew his stay was illegal but lacked the funds to return home. Authorities believe he turned himself in to be deported without bearing the cost of travel. Source: KBC
