Things to be aware of when applying for a status of residence yourself
AKIRA YAMAMOTO.AKIRAWhen applying for a status of residence, you can either apply online or in person at the Immigration Services Bureau.
When applying online, you don't have to go to the Immigration Services Bureau, and you can apply at any time, which is convenient.
However, you need to check and prepare all the documents required for the application by yourself, so if you are not familiar with applying, you should be careful.
On the other hand, if you go to the Immigration Services Bureau in person, you can be told at the counter what application form to use and what documents are required, so this may be the better option for those who are not familiar with applying.
However, if you apply at the Immigration Services Bureau, you must go between 9:00 and 16:00 on weekdays, and because the bureau is always busy, it is common to have to wait more than two hours to apply and collect your document.
If you apply at the Immigration Services Bureau, you will need to go there at least twice, once when you apply and once when you collect the documents.
Depending on the content of your application, you may also need to pick up the necessary documents at your nearest city, town or village office.
This means that students and corporate employees will need to take several days off from work.
If you have a My Number Card, you can often pick it up at the nearest convenience store without having to go to your city or ward office, so we recommend that you get one.
However, if it's difficult for you to take time off on weekdays, we recommend that you ask a Certified Administrative Procedures Legal Specialist who has registered to act as an application intermediary.
If you hire a Certified Administrative Procedures Legal Specialist, it will cost you money, but you don't have to go to the Immigration Services Bureau yourself, and you can also ask them to collect documents on your behalf at the city, town, or village office, so it is convenient for people who find it difficult to take time off on weekdays.
In addition, we recommend using a professional Certified Administrative Procedures Legal Specialist as they are familiar with the procedures and can not only handle the application but also provide advice on various matters.
