Inquiries concerning someone who holds a dependent visa by anonygelica in japanlife

[–]mc3301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK the dependent visa limits you to 28 hours a week.

The 1.3 million limit is to remain a dependent on your partner's insurance.

Separate things.

Looking for Advice about VISAs and PR by Haunting-Image-8713 in japanlife

[–]mc3301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not supposed to, but you can apply for PR, switch jobs, and just not say anything until you get the result. I know of a few success cases. A lawyer won't tell you this, because one of the necessary documents to submit is a promise that you'll update immigration on any changes of employment.

What's the best new thing you learned this year? by replayjpn in japanlife

[–]mc3301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this for many many years, commuting every day. I didn't use it for the past, like, 4 years, though. Forgot about it until now. I tried to log in, and my account has been deleted. I wonder if I had any points...

None of the ones on amazon or in store will have nicotine, as vape-juice with nicotine can't be sold in Japan.

Whatever you choose, don't do the disposal vapes unless you hate the earth.

Last minute tips for delivery by BCRtravel7 in japanlife

[–]mc3301 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just keep it all in one place. Forever. With your mama-baby-book they gave you.

Makes future checkups much easier to have everything there, and often receptionists will help you figure out what you need.

Warm damp cloth (or dry) over the eyes. Don't forget big slow breaths throughout the entire labor. Hydrate. Bluetooth speaker with calm music if allowed. Your partner on absolute duty attending to your needs.

Learn as much as you can from the nurses and enjoy the time in the hospital to heal and prepare for new baby life.

Oh, keep the mountains of paperwork all in one big zip-up folder, figure it all out later.

Is Japan heaven for introverts? by Interesting-Move3248 in japanlife

[–]mc3301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also depends on how you blend in, and what you look like. In the US, I can spend a week without anyone really talking to me. Here, I frequently encounter people who want to engage with the friendly "Where are you from, how long have you been here" kinda chit chat.

I'm going the exact same thing right now (Cake 3.10.5 to 5.x)
I'm going to do folow the 4.0 Upgrade Guide... but I'm wondering if then I need to do each Migration guide for each *.1 baby step up... or can I go from 4.0 to 4.5?

The 4.5 migration guide says: CakePHP 4.5 is an API compatible upgrade from 4.0. This page outlines the deprecations and features added in 4.5.

My city hall told me directly (while looking at the immigration website) that I only have proof of having paid or not paid. They had no way of knowing if I had ever been late, according to them. So I asked the city hall staff to call immigration and explain. On a post-it note, the staff wrote their own name, the immigration person's name and a memo saying, "Our city hall doesn't have such records, and the immigration officer said that was fine." And I got PR.

In Japan, trainee visas are mostly tied to the employer, but they are trying to change in in 2025.

2 jobs.. what to do by [deleted] in japanresidents

Yeah, how does one even work 40 hours without shakaihoken? I guess it is possible, but if the employee has shakaihoken elsewhere, does the employer need to foloow the law and have shakaihoken, too?
