Should I have to wait for getting COE process done in order to buy a airplane ticket to Japan?
We can not predict when the COE acquisition will be complete. So, it might be a good idea to buy the ticket after issuing COE.
How long does the whole process of the application take?
The whole process of the application (Certificate of Eligibility) takes within one month to 3 months, that is called “Standard procedures duration”. For some reason, it takes extra days to get through the process.
For example, the Immigration Bureau has ordered to submit documents etc. We cannot ask the Immigration Bureau how many days it takes to get permission, because they can’t answer.
Can you get some information from the Immigration Bureau about how long it will take for my application to be granted before/during the process?
We can’t get any information from the Immigration bureau about applications. In addition, we can’t complaint about our application within “Standard procedures duration”.
I heard that I need to carry my passport and residence card at all times by Japanese law. If I pass on these documents to you in order to apply, what can I do to prevent violations?
We issue “Deposit paper” instead of passport and residence card. So you only carry this Deposit paper instead. You will not be arrested or fined just because of not carrying the two.
How long does the whole process of the application take?
The whole process of the application (Change of Status of Residence) takes within one month in average. For some reason, it takes extra days to get through the process. For example, the Immigration Bureau has ordered to submit documents etc. We cannot ask the Immigration Bureau how many days it takes to get permission, because they can’t answer.
Do you have to keep my passport and residence card during the whole application process?
We issue “Deposit paper” instead of having your passport and residence card. You only keep this paper in your daily life.
