|
|
Hello,
I am changing job soon. I know that under the old alien registration card system I had to make a trip to the local town hall and get the new employer written on the back on the card.
Now I have one of the new cards, do I still have to do this? I have found conflicting advice in the google search I did.
My visa will be unchanged.
Thanks in advance |

It's all been centralised. These days, City Hall only handles changes of address. For all the rest, you have to go to the Immigration Office.
See page 12 of the link Harp posted above:

In case a mid- to long-term resident with “Engineer” or another employment status (excluding “Artist,” “Religious Activities,” and “Journalist”), or “Student” or another learning status, leaves an organization (employer or educational institution) he/she belongs to (due to termination of contract) or moves into another organization (on a new contract), or such an organization changes its name, location, or breaks up, the resident has to notify the incident to the Ministry of Justice by visiting a Regional Immigration Office or sending a notification to the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau, within 14 days of the incident. |
