Summary
Tokyo police mistakenly arrested a Filipino man on Saturday for allegedly overstaying his visa, despite the fact that he was in the process of renewing his residence card. The man, a technical intern in his 30s, was approached by an officer at Ueno Station and asked to show his expired residence card. He admitted to forgetting to apply for the renewal. Police arrested him but later released him and apologized after about an hour, as they confirmed with the Immigration Services Agency that he was in the process of renewing his status. The man's residence status was not reflected on his card because he had applied online for the renewal.
