*If you have already left Japan and have not submitted the notification, please submit it as soon as possible.

As a rule, international students holding a residence card or a passport with a notice that says such as “your residence card will be later issued”, do not need to apply for permission to re-enter Japan for the purpose of continuing their permitted activities in Japan, as long as they return to Japan within one year after departure. However, when you leave Japan or re-enter Japan, you must present your residence card.

Under this re-entry system, students who leave Japan cannot extend the validity period of their residence in Japan while overseas. You will lose your residence status if you do NOT return within one year after departure.
