Right, but it's for someone who has basically said, "Yeah, I'm going to go visit Japan first so I know what to expect while the paperwork is processing, but fully expect to leave before the paperwork is done" and then, through some sort of error, the COE is sent and received by the company while the individual is still in Japan. Because everyone agrees it would be stupid to make the person leave, in that case, but companies can't use it as an expediting tactic. It's for the occasional exception only.
