Here is what I found reading through the article from MOJ

(3) When an application for change of status of residence has been submitted as set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Minister of Justice may grant permission only when he/her finds that there are reasonable grounds to grant the change of status of residence on the strength of the documents submitted by the alien. However, in the case of an application submitted by a person whose status of residence is "Temporary Visitor," permission shall not be granted unless the application is made based on special unavoidable circumstances.

What "special unavoidable circumstances" means.. anybody's guess..
