A foreigner who departs Japan temporarily and re-enters the country for
the same purpose for which his or her status of residence was previously
granted can avoid the need to obtain another visa by getting a re-entry
permit at a relevant immigration bureau.
The required documents are as follows.
- Application form for Re-Entry Permit
- Your passport and alien registration card, etc.
A Re-Entry Permit is effective for three years at most.
If one’s period of stay has less than three years remaining, the permit
expires with the period of stay. |
