【具体的な事例】
□The person disguised his marriage to a Japanese person, submitted an application for permission to renew the period of stay with the content of a lie, and obtained the status of residence "日本人の配偶者等(NIHONJIN NO HAIGUUSYA TOU: Japanese spouse, etc)".

What we can see from the status of residence revocation statistics is that there are many cases related to so-called "working". In addition, the number of cases of status of residence revocation has increased by 21.9% compared to 2019 and 2020. It is expected that one of the factors may be the deterioration of the business performance of employers due to the new coronavirus infection.
Status of residence related to so-called "working" includes "technical / humanistic knowledge / international work", "technical intern training", and "study abroad" (part-time job). Of these, the number of cases of cancellation of status of residence in "technical intern training" and "study abroad" is increasing rapidly.
It is thought that this situation is related to the deterioration of corporate performance due to the new coronavirus infection. It is not related to cases such as the disappearance of technical intern trainees from the training site due to surplus personnel or worsening treatment, or the case where international students who cannot pay tuition due to lack of part-time jobs stay in Japan even after being removed from the register.
