About "Period of Stay"

The period of stay is stipulated for the residence card owned by a foreigner residing in Japan.
This period of stay is stipulated for each status of residence, but there are also periods of 3 or 5 years.
If you have a residence card with a period of stay of one year, you need to apply for renewal every year.
On the other hand, if you have a period of stay of 3 years, you can apply for renewal every 3 years.

If you are applying for a residence card for the first time, in most cases you will be given a period of stay of one year, but with repeated renewals, you will be granted a period of stay of multiple years.
Renewing your residence card requires a fees for the procedures at the Immigration Bureau in addition to the time-consuming procedure. Furthermore, if you ask a certified administrative procedures legal specialist, you will also need to pay for the certified administrative procedures legal specialist.
Therefore, it is normal to want to have a period of stay of multiple years, but in reality, there are people who have been in Japan for many years but are only allowed to stay for one year.
For those who have been in Japan for many years but are only allowed to stay for one year, there is some reason.
We recommend that you consult with a certified administrative procedures legal specialist.
If you have asked a certified administrative procedures legal specialist but the period of stay is only one year, you should ask another certified administrative procedures legal specialist.
