<sup>art-494-3 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/code-of-criminal-procedure/art-494-3</sup>

  **第一項**  罰金の裁判を告知した裁判所は、当該裁判が確定した者について、罰金を完納することができないおそれがあると認めるとき（その者が受けた第三百四十五条の二の規定による決定が効力を失つていないときを除く。）は、拘置状を発する場合を除き、検察官の請求により、決定で、裁判所の許可を受けなければ本邦から出国してはならないことを命ずるものとする。
  <sup>art-494-3/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/code-of-criminal-procedure/art-494-3/par-1</sup>
  The court that announced a judicial decision imposing a fine is, when it finds that there is a risk that a person in relation to whom the decision has become final and binding will be unable to pay the fine in full (excluding when the ruling under the provisions of Article 345-2 that the person received has not lost its effect), to order, by ruling, upon the request of a public prosecutor, except where it issues a confinement warrant, that the person must not depart from Japan without receiving the permission of the court.
