2027-04-01 देखि ऐनअन्तर्गतका दायित्व पालना नगर्ने वा कर र सार्वजनिक शुल्क जानाजान नतिर्ने स्थायी बासिन्दाको हैसियत मन्त्रीको विवेकमा खारेज हुन सक्ने हुन्छ। त्यस्तो अवस्थामा पनि व्यक्ति जापानमा बस्न अनुपयुक्त ठहरिएको नभए मन्त्रीले सामान्यतया खारेज गर्नुको सट्टा हैसियत अर्कोमा, प्रायः Long-Term Resident मा, बदल्छन्।
