- Law: 出入国管理及び難民認定法 (Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act), 昭和二十六年政令第三百十九号
- English title "Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act": Ministry of Justice translation
- Kind: Act — the distinction between 法律 (Act), 政令 (Cabinet Order), 省令 (Ministerial Order) and 条例 (local ordinance) decides who may issue it and what it may say.
- Issued as a Cabinet Order and given the force of an Act, which is why its number says 政令: Some rules made during the Allied occupation were issued as Cabinet Orders, as orders implementing Japan's acceptance of the Potsdam Declaration, and an Act passed in 1952 gave them the force of an Act. They keep the Cabinet Order number they were issued under, which is why e-Gov lists the law as an Act while its number says 政令 (Cabinet Order). The Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act (出入国管理及び難民認定法) is one: it was promulgated in 1951 as the Immigration Control Order (出入国管理令), Cabinet Order No. 319 of 1951, has had the force of an Act under Article 4 of Act No. 126 of 1952, took its present title on 1 January 1982, and every amendment on e-Gov's record of it was made by an Act.

  The director of the immigration detention center or the supervising immigration inspector may revoke the provisional release if the foreign national accorded provisional release has fled, there are reasonable grounds to suspect that the foreign national will attempt to flee, the foreign national fails to comply with an order to appear upon receiving summons without legitimate grounds, or has violated any of other conditions attached to the provisional release.

  **第四項**  入国警備官は、仮放免取消書及び収容令書又は退去強制令書を所持しない場合でも、急速を要するときは、仮放免を取り消された者に対しその旨を告げて、その者を収容することができる。ただし、仮放免取消書及び収容令書又は退去強制令書は、できるだけ速やかに示さなければならない。
  <sup>art-55/par-4 · https://japanlaw.org/en/immigration-control-act/art-55/par-4 · https://japanlaw.org/l/326CO0000000319/art-55/par-4</sup>
  An immigration control officer may, in cases of emergency, detain a person whose provisional release has been revoked without a written revocation of the provisional release and a detention order or a deportation order by informing them that the provisional release has been revoked; provided, however, that a written revocation of the provisional release and a detention order or a deportation order must be shown to the person as soon as possible.
  <sup>machine translation, not official</sup>

  **第五項**  前二項の規定は、仮放免の期間が満了した者がある場合について準用する。この場合において、これらの規定中「仮放免取消書」とあるのは、「仮放免許可書の謄本」と読み替えるものとする。
  <sup>art-55/par-5 · https://japanlaw.org/en/immigration-control-act/art-55/par-5 · https://japanlaw.org/l/326CO0000000319/art-55/par-5</sup>
  The provisions of the preceding two paragraphs apply mutatis mutandis if there is a person whose period of provisional release has expired. In this case, the term "written revocation of the provisional release" in those provisions is deemed to be replaced with "certified copy of the written permission for provisional release".
