Strange, I know a couple of people who have worked in Japan for periods of a few years - legally I hasten to add - and who have experienced no special difficulties. Those periods of work were pre-2000 and a decade ago more or less.
Is this a new phenomenon?
Were they on a work visa with a defined ending date?
Probably seen as not a threat like immigration.
But I bet overstaying a visa ends very badly there.
Ah, yes a visa with definite end date would be likely.
