A foreign national with the status of residence of "Temporary Visitor" in Japan who possesses a valid passport is deemed to have been granted the re-entry permission set forth in Article 26, paragraph (1), if they depart from Japan on a designated passenger ship by expressing the intention of re-entering Japan on the designated passenger ship to an immigration inspector pursuant to the provisions of Ministry of Justice Order, notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1), Article 26; provided, however, that this does not apply to those persons who fall under the provisions of Ministry of Justice Order as persons required to acquire re-entry permission for the purpose of impartial control over immigration.
The provisions of paragraphs (2) and (3) of the preceding Article apply mutatis mutandis to the re-entry permission deemed to have been granted to the foreign national pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph. In this case, the term "one year" in paragraph (2) of the same Article is deemed to be replaced with "15 days."
