A Hong Kong couple were recently refused entry to Japan after immigration authorities questioned their pattern of repeatedly staying the maximum 90 days permitted under Japan's visa-free scheme. 

 

Apparently they told immigration that they own a property in Japan, which they used as a residence, so their trip to Japan was not within the allowable visitor visa rules.  Oopsy!

Not sure how they could have been allowed to buy somewhere in the first place; someone is in trouble.

 

An interesting comparison with Thailand though!

Most likely the Hong Kong couple themselves, I strongly suspect, on account of their apparent failure to check with the Japanese immigration powers-that-be before purchasing the property in question whether they could then stay in it on the basis of successive 90-day visa exemptions!
