Even if you get permanent status, your nationality will not change for that reason.

Therefore, you need to do resident registration at the city hall of your place.

Once you get it, you don’t need to renew it. (In regard to resident card, you have to renew it every seven years.)

You can select your job freely.

Even if you change your job, you don’t need to report it to Immigration Office.

Permanent status is what allows you to stay here permanently.

So, if you don’t intend to stay here longer, there will be a case where they remove the status from you.

That is to say, you should be careful when you want to go back to your country temporarily.

You don’t need to get re-entry permit when you come back here within one year, but you have to get it when you are not planning to come back within one year.

Your permanent status will be no longer valid if you don’t do this procedure.

Thank you.

To permanent status holders

Please don’t forget to take re-entry permit procedure if you stay outside Japan over one year.

Today, I got a call from a woman who used to have a permanent status.

She lost the status, because she didn’t know there is a necessity to take re-entry permit.

She lived in Japan for almost over 30 years, but she lost her precious status!

What a waste!

Once you lose it, it is difficult to get it again.

They gave her the visa that allows her to stay here for 30 days to prepare to leave, but she wants to live in Japan as usual as she has lived here.

So, now, she is trying to get a working visa to work as an English teacher. She has a long experience in teaching.

However, it takes time, effort, and cost. And mentally, it is a burden.

If you have a plan to leave Japan for a while, please be careful about the loss of your status.

Thank you.
