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. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/kbc.co.jp\/news\/article.php?id=15845904&amp;ymd=2025-08-14\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KBC<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-172674\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fnn_fukuoka-airport-bording_2025_WEB.jpeg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fukuoka Airport\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fnn_fukuoka-airport-bording_2025_WEB.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fnn_fukuoka-airport-bording_2025_WEB.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fnn_fukuoka-airport-bording_2025_WEB.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fnn_fukuoka-airport-bording_2025_WEB.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
