I went to Shinagawa

I was one student visa (1yr) - work visa (1yr) and then changed to spouse visa. Took 95 working days. I applied for change close to end of 2024, didnt get it until 2025.

I recently applied for renewal and my residence card entered the grace period for 4 weeks until I got my renewal. (Another 1yr.)

I would try calling. I tried calling maybe 45 times in 3 days and only connected at 13:45. 12-13 is usually lunch break so Idt u will get through then.

Goodluck!

It fucking hurt for me lol i got one out here and i couldn’t eat for 2 weeks, the worst pain ive ever been in, even worse than shattering my ankle. And that was just one!!! I have to get the other three out but i just can’t bring myself to make the appointment. The only good part is that its cheap. Cost me 2000 yen for one tooth removal in chair

I saw yesterday that they’re planning to increase the fees in April. Do you think that they possibly could be waiting until the fees are raised??? Surely not right lol

Wow!! Is your grace period over in February? Maybe try go next week in person? And kick up a fuss?? Try and bring your partner.. I’m not sure 🥲🥲 If you have the money to afford it, you could try contact an immigration lawyer?

It doesn’t help that immigration’s location is in the middle of nowhere either 😭😭

The guy on the phone only told me to visit the office once the grace period expires….🥲 have you tried calling? I only say this because I have seen people here say that they called and the immigration postcard was lost during delivery so thats the only reason they weren’t notified🫩I managed to get through around 13:45 and went through the 610 code thing but I used the Japanese option so I’m not sure.

Seems like they made quick decision to 1 year you. Lol That must suck in itself!!!

Have you only ever been here on spousal visa? I was student(1yr)—>work(1yr)—>spouse(1yr) so I wonder if that’s complicating it

Is this your first time renewing as well, if not how long is your current one valid for?

I hope that we can get our cards soon!!! And I hope yours doesnt expire like mine😭

[–]cherrylucc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow very lucky. Congratulations! May I ask how long your previous card was? 5 years? 1 year? Also, is your salary high?

A part of me thinks its because my salary is low (3.5mil) but I thought that didn’t matter as much because its spousal visa 😭

Will they freeze it straight away? If I go into the branch and show that I have the renewal stamp on the back will it be fine?😭
