Renewing Japanese Visas in Tokyo (it’s an extension)

Very interesting showing me the immigration building John I like it

I worked for AEON for about a year.

wow, I went last week, was done by 9:10am . I hope this video was out earlier. but thanks John

Jet is so needlessly elitist for what it is, interac is so much more convenient

🎃Happy Halloween everyone👻

I think I was there @ 2018!😮 It's part deportation facilitated..

I also need adopting John. I can edit faster than the other guy who asked (and also failed to thank you here in the comments). Thank you.

That building has the same architecture style as Tokyo Detention House but a bit smaller.

I received my PR this year so I look forward to not going back to Shinagawa again (or at least for a long time).

I went there last week. A nightmare, waited for almost 4 hours only for 5 second they said all good. I did online application and they want me to submit in person. So much for online system in Japan.

Thank you for this informative video even though i don’t live in Japan but there’s always something to learn for somebody🙂So thank you for sharing this enjoyable video John🙂👍!!!

I love this channel, always so informative and very useful, glad I can have time to watch your channel again.

25 years in japan ? Wow ! Long time ! You are an almost japanese citizen ? I used to report to Sendai regional office when I was a kid... you get japanese Medicare system or file income tax to IRS ? The healthcare system is better than U.S.?

Building vibe: Welcome to Arstotzka :D

Thanks for sharing it. ✌️

What's up with these "weird people" on the bus?😂 Curious..

John, this reminds me of my trip to Australia--immigration grilled me for what seemed like 15 minutes and then asked "do you have a criminal record?" and I said, "I didn't know you still needed one to get in!"

Happy Halloween 🎃

Good information

GIMME JOB

Hey John, if I was home this morning I could see you from my mansion home. 🎉😮😊

25 years in Japan and still not a citizen.. I respect that from the Japanese , no mass migration and still in control of their own country.

@onlyinjapanGO Cant you get permanent residency status being married to a Japanese national and being there ~25yrs?

I went there this morning. The process was streamlined compared to last time I was there, i.e., I only needed to go to one counter instead of three.

We know the deal about Visas in Japan, so you don't need to tel, we already know

Ah, getting a dedicated stamp from a shop nearby is so backwards (and nostalgic in a bad way XD), we also used to have that in Hungary, there was a little Post shop in the office where you'd get things like your ID and passport and whatever, and so you'd queue for the thing you want to do, then you'd queue at the shop (which only took cash even at a time cards were already common), then you'd queue again to get the holy stamp back to where you were originally.

That is also where plenty of Gaijins that will be deported are temporarily held. Located in all the wings of the 9th 10 11th floors. Tame deportees are given leniency to roam hallways freely. Aggressive ones are chained or isolated to protect others. This jail is the only one I know where you can still order from ministop and have groceries and stuff delivered to your cell. Long time deportees that are battling for visa (such as refugees) are also held here. But those who cannot afford a plane ticket are also transferred to Ibaraki so they can work for money for ticket (miniscule prison wage).

The one in Shinagawa is an absolute nightmare ! I’m so glad I moved out of Tokyo and can go to one outside the city.

Lols you changed your Visa type from a work visa to a spouse visa ^_^ your residency limit is indicated on your Alien Card which you bring with you all the time.

I remember your last immigration video where you were mad they gave you a one year for your visa. I hope you got a 3 or a 5 this time!

I remember this building well, needed to come here a few times, both a work and residents visa

🤣I know what you mean by some people don’t know how to use a western toilet 😉. Worked at a place like that for a couple of months once, boot prints in strange places.

shinagawa station is super nice, i got some good photos there when it was mostly empty and really cool and serene

I’m contemplating creating a business in Australia, selling Japanese products in Oz, is a visa required to travel to Japan and meet suppliers?

I have to visit the immigration office in Seoul, and it strangely evokes a similar feeling haha. I understand that most people may not wear cheerful expressions because going to the immigration office isn’t exactly a joyful experience. It’s a place where people’s dreams can sometimes be dashed.

Talking about visas but not revealing one's own. Lmfao thats rich 🙄

What if you make an informational video but your viewers find it entertaining? 😂

I did my visa extension all online procedures using My Number Card at home, for documentation you can send by Japan post... Didn't go to the government hall once...
