Being listed on your resident card makes it even more convenient!

Hello, this is Yoshimura from the Osaka office.

 

Since the new residence system will begin on July 2012, 7,

There will also be major changes in the renewal procedures for spouse visas, etc.

  

For foreign nationals staying in Japan on a “Japanese spouse visa,”

“New residence system” will be implemented at the same time as “Revised Basic Resident Register ActBased on “

In your city, ward, town or villageA resident record is createdFor,

Just like the Japanese people,

You will be able to obtain a copy of your resident card at your municipal office.

  

As a result, even when renewing a "visa for Japanese spouse, etc.",

The process will be easier than before.

 

Until now, in order to renew a spouse visa,

Foreigners can use their own “Alien registration form certificate” and

In particular, the family'sCertificate of Residence”, etc.

I had to go through the hassle twice for certificates within the same family.

  

However, once the new residence system comes into effect,

Foreign nationals will be listed on the resident record along with their Japanese family members, so

 

In addition, until now, visa renewal procedures were carried out after going through the procedures at the Immigration Bureau.

It was also necessary to notify the city hall.

 

 

The matters to be recorded in the resident card are as follows.

*Information such as address, place of birth, and occupation of foreigners in their home country will not be recorded.
