With the Expo having concluded in Japan, several foreign participants are exploring possibilities to prolong their stay. The exact numbers are not yet disclosed, but the intention to make the "Land of the Rising Sun" their temporary or long-term home has piqued the curiosity of immigration offices. Legalities, opportunities, and reasons behind this unexpected trend are being discussed across various platforms.

The willingness of foreign nationals to extend their stay post-Expo reflects the nation's appeal as a host country. Issues like visa extensions, adjustments in immigration laws, and assimilation into Japanese society are being given considerable attention. Japan, with its rich culture and social harmony, has always been an attractive destination for expats, and these developments may influence discussions about cultural exchange and immigration policies.

In comparison to the US or EU, Japan has a relatively homogenous society, so immigration issues might carry a diferent weight of importance. Where the US and EU have expansive immigration laws due to their history of diversity and incorporation of immigrants, Japan is still navigating its path in forming inclusive immigration policies.
