Summary
Japan’s Immigration Services Agency plans to introduce digital forensics in fiscal 2027 to strengthen investigations into illegal employment and overstaying foreign nationals. The agency has requested ¥50 million to recover deleted data from seized smartphones and computers, helping identify employers and brokers involved in illegal employment. The technology is expected to improve evidence collection and accelerate investigations, which currently rely heavily on manual analysis. As of July, Japan had 65,229 foreign nationals overstaying their visas, many of whom are suspected of working illegally.
