[Procedures for Deportation]

   3. 3rd step (Hearing by a Special Inquiry Officer)

       Upon receiving a request, a Special Inquiry Officer conducts
       the hearing and examines whether there was an error in the
       findings of an Immigration Inspector.

       The result of hearing and the procedures after hearing are as
       follows.

        1) When a Special Inquiry Officer finds an error, you shall be
            released without delay.

        2) When a Special Inquiry Officer finds no error and you
            agree with the findings (do not raise any objection), a
            deportation order shall be issued without delay.

        3) When a Special Inquiry Officer finds no error but you do
            agree with the findings (raise an objection), you may
            request to proceed to the next step within 3 days from the
            date of notification of result.

       
If you wish to obtain a special permission for residence, you
      must raise an objection and proceed to the next step
.

   4. 4th step
(Decision by the Minister of Justice)

       Upon receiving a request and as the final step of the
      procedures for deportation, the Minister of Justice shall decide
      whether your objection is well-grounded and also there are
      special circumstances.

       The result of decision and the procedures after decision are
      as follows.

        1) When the Minister of Justice finds that your objection is
            well-grounded, you shall be released without delay.

        2) When the Minister of Justice finds that your objection is
            groundless and there are no special circumstances, a
            deportation order shall be issued without delay.

        3) When the Minister of Justice finds that your objection is
            groundless but there are special circumstances, he may
            grant a special permission for residence and your status
            of residence and period of stay are assigned.

  As explained, it will be a long way to the permission (it may take more than 6 months) but you must
raise an objection and request to proceed up to the final step. Because these steps are the only way that you can obtain a special permission for residence.
