In the 1990s, I stayed in Japan illegally for one year. Can I apply for a tourist visa to Japan now?

Yes If it is only illegal residence, there is no illegal employment or criminal record, and it is basically no problem to apply after five years. So I stayed in Japan illegally for one year in the 1990s, and now I can apply for a tourist visa to Japan. Illegal detention refers to a person who legally enters the country, but stays beyond the time limit allowed by the local government, that is, the visa extension is refused, or the visa expires for more than three months, and he loses his legal status and becomes an illegal immigrant.
