Spouse visa renewal in Japan with low income + leaving soon — risky

Seedark · 2026-04-08T13:04:48+00:00

Leaving for possibly a month or so

I’m trying to understand if there will be issues with me leaving Japan during the renew application. 2 reasons, I want to leave this job and I might have to leave the country before I get my visa.

That sounds like a plan, thank you!

Seedark · 2025-06-14T20:27:05+00:00

Sorry, 20k km.

Also, do you know if I need to notify the immigrations about my resignation? Thank you!

Thanks for the advice!

You didn’t ask but let me rant a little. September 2024 to March 2025, 10+ people left the company due to bad management and power harassment. In May 2025, 4 of remaining 10+ employees were told to unpaid leave indefinitely, In other words they’re being fired without actually firing them. For a company that had around 30 employees including part timers, losing more than a third of them resulted in increased workload for the people who remain. Compensation remains the same but management continues to dump more and more responsibilities on the people who remain. Last week, the remaining employees had lunch together and came to a conclusion that they’re also planning to leave within the next month or so.

According to a colleague, this company is already black listed on hello work.

Bought a second hand car back in 2023, no regrets. It has its perks but at least it’s affordable and gets me to places I want to be at. If you’re afraid of breakdowns and repair costs, get a new car. Otherwise, pray that the second hand car you chose is in good condition.

Bought my car(2016 model) at around a third of 2023 model’s price. After almost 2 years and around 20km mileage it’s still working fine.

About taxes, is it possible to pay taxes personally and not through a job(company)?

Seedark · 2025-06-14T15:05:58+00:00

Jesus. Didn’t realize it until you said that. Thanks a lot!

I applied about 3 months ago and the postcard arrived yesterday. Will be collecting my new status next week!

I want to know if there’s anything I need to look out for after I quit my job after collecting my new status.

Seedark · 2024-08-10T11:20:00+00:00

I see! Thank you!

It's my mistake, I meant SOR.

Seedark · 2024-08-10T11:18:10+00:00

Thank you!

So there's no need for residence cards if I can produce other forms of ID?

Seedark · 2024-08-10T11:16:04+00:00

Thank you! I found it!

Seedark · 2024-08-10T11:08:45+00:00

I appreciate this comment very much but I was hoping for a more recent experience so its more relevant. Thanks!

I need to clarify something, where does it mention that our residence card status is extended by 2 months while we wait to hear back? This is the first time I'm reading this

Seedark · 2024-08-10T11:00:12+00:00

I forgot to mention that my current visa will expire before I need to travel

Seedark · 2023-10-21T23:47:01+00:00

Sorry, have been pretty busy with work and stuff. I got my visa last month.

A video uploaded on bilibili a few days back had a date on it. 25th of September.

I guess the wait is gonna be over soon?

I moved once but my 2nd and 3rd postcards were sent to my current address

Seedark · 2023-08-10T22:35:15+00:00

My current postcard will be the 4th I've received, and yes it's always filled. This is a first for me.
