Note 1: “Resettled refugees” refers to the number of Indochinese refugees (permitted to settle in Japan as foreign nationals who fled to neighboring areas due to a change in the political system of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia pursuant to a Cabinet agreement dated April 28, 1978 and foreign nationals permitted to settle in Japan through family reunification prescribed in provision 3 of the Cabinet agreement dated June 17, 1980) and third-country-resettlement refugees (foreign nationals who were granted temporary refuge in Thailand as refugees and having requested resettlement in a third country were accepted by Japan), and this number is the number of Indochinese refugees from 1978 to 2005 and the number of third-country-resettlement refugees from 2010 onwards. Among this number, there are some foreign nationals who were subsequently recognized as Convention refugees (recognized refugees) after being admitted as resettled refugees and therefore their number is recorded in duplicate in the “total” column.
Note 2: “Recognized refugees” refers to the number of persons recognized as refugees in accordance with the provisions of the Immigration Control Act (the number in parentheses is the number of foreign nationals who were denied recognition of refugee status but were later recognized following the results of a written objection).
Note 3: “Other Protection” refers to those foreign nationals who received a disposition of denial of recognition of refugee status but who were granted special permission to stay pursuant to Article 61-2-2, paragraph (2) of the Immigration Control Act and foreign nationals who were granted residence for protection considering their unique circumstances and were thereby granted permission to make changes to their status of residence.
Note 4: “Temporary refuge” refers to those foreign nationals who were granted landing permission for temporary refuge pursuant to Article 18-2 of the Immigration Control Act, included in which are a considerable number of foreign nationals who subsequently became resettled refugees or recognized refugees.
