Article 61-2-5Acquisition of Status of Residence by a Person Granted Permission for Provisional Stay
第六十一条の二の五（仮滞在の許可を受けた者の在留資格の取得）
If a foreign national who has been granted permission pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1) of the preceding Article falls under any of the following items, the Minister of Justice may, pursuant to the provisions of Ministry of Justice Order, permit the foreign national to acquire a status of residence; provided, however, that if the foreign national is a person who has been sentenced to life imprisonment or imprisonment for more than 1 year (excluding a person who has been granted a suspension of the execution of the entire sentence and a person who has been granted a suspension of the execution of part of the sentence for whom the part of the sentence whose execution was not suspended is 1 year or less) or a person for whom there are reasonable grounds to suspect that the person falls under any of Article 24, item (iii)-2, item (iii)-3, or item (iv), sub-item (c) or sub-items (l) through (o), this applies only if the Minister finds that there are special circumstances in which not permitting the foreign national to acquire a status of residence would be found to lack humanitarian consideration:
法務大臣は、前条第一項の規定による許可を受けた外国人に対し、当該外国人が次の各号のいずれかに該当するときは、法務省令で定めるところにより、在留資格の取得を許可することができる。ただし、当該外国人が無期若しくは一年を超える拘禁刑に処せられた者（刑の全部の執行猶予の言渡しを受けた者及び刑の一部の執行猶予の言渡しを受けた者であつてその刑のうち執行が猶予されなかつた部分の期間が一年以下のものを除く。）又は第二十四条第三号の二、第三号の三若しくは第四号ハ若しくはオからヨまでのいずれかに該当すると疑うに足りる相当の理由がある者である場合は、当該外国人に対し、在留資格の取得を許可しないことが人道上の配慮に欠けると認められる特別の事情があると認めるときに限る。
the foreign national has had a registered domicile in Japan as a Japanese national in the past;
かつて日本国民として本邦に本籍を有したことがあるとき。
the foreign national resides in Japan under the control of another person due to human trafficking; or
人身取引等により他人の支配下に置かれて本邦に在留するものであるとき。
the Minister of Justice finds that there are other grounds for which the foreign national should be permitted to acquire a status of residence.
その他法務大臣が在留資格の取得を許可すべき事情があると認めるとき。
In determining whether or not to grant the permission pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the Minister of Justice is to take into consideration, with respect to the foreign national, the reasons for wishing to reside in Japan, family relationships, conduct, the circumstances that led to the foreign national entering Japan, the period of residence in Japan, the legal status during that period, the circumstances under which the foreign national became a foreign national without a status of residence, and the need for humanitarian consideration, as well as domestic and international circumstances, the impact on illegal residents in Japan, and other circumstances.
法務大臣は、前項の規定による許可をするかどうかの判断に当たつては、当該外国人について、在留を希望する理由、家族関係、素行、本邦に入国することとなつた経緯、本邦に在留している期間、その間の法的地位、在留資格未取得外国人となつた経緯及び人道上の配慮の必要性を考慮するほか、内外の諸情勢及び本邦における不法滞在者に与える影響その他の事情を考慮するものとする。
The provisions of Article 20, paragraphs (4) and (5) apply mutatis mutandis to the permission pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1).

suspended sentence
執行猶予
A court's decision, when it passes a sentence, to hold off carrying it out. A person sentenced to imprisonment (拘禁刑) of three years or less or a fine (罰金) of 500,000 yen or less who has not been sentenced to imprisonment before, or not within five years of finishing such a sentence, may have the whole of it suspended for one to five years from the day the judgment becomes final (Penal Code, Article 25, paragraph (1)), and may be put under probation (保護観察) for that time (Article 25-2, paragraph (1)). A person whose earlier imprisonment was itself wholly suspended may have a new sentence of two years or less suspended again where there are especially extenuating circumstances, and is then put under probation (Article 25, paragraph (2); Article 25-2, paragraph (1)). If the period passes without the suspension being revoked, the sentence loses its effect (Article 27, paragraph (1)), unless a prosecution is pending for a crime committed in the period, in which case it stays in effect and can still be revoked (paragraphs (2), (4) and (5)); it must or may be revoked if, for example, the person commits another crime in the period and is sentenced to imprisonment without suspension (Articles 26 and 26-2). A sentence of imprisonment of three years or less may also be suspended in part, the rest being served first (Article 27-2).
