Read the Notice Carefully

After you apply for renewal, Immigration may send a postcard or notice. Check the office name, date, reception number, items to bring, and deadline.

Prepare Items Before Visiting

You may need your passport, residence card, application receipt, revenue stamps, postcard, and other documents. Check the notice before you go.

Do Not Miss the Deadline

If you cannot visit on the listed date or during the period, contact Immigration or check what to do early.

Keep Records

Take a photo or copy of the notice and keep your application receipt. These records help if your company, school, or city office asks about your status.

Ask for Help if Unsure

If the Japanese notice is difficult, ask a consultation desk, school, company, or trusted person to help you read it.
