I applied for mine from here in Japan day before yesterday, and I�m hoping I can get it before my temporary visitor status poops out on May 12. Otherwise, I�ll be spending one night of Golden Week at Incheon Airport this year. Thankfully, this site (http://www.sleepinginairports.net/asia/seoul.htm) rated Incheon a best airport runner-up for overnight campouts. I�ll also have to buy an outbound ticket to somewhere else and hope I can get it refunded or cancelled after coming back to Japan. |

Why? You don't have to leave if your visa application is in.
I won't ask why you dredged up a 4-year-old thread. |

That�s the clincher. I have to wait for the COE before I can apply for the change in status, and I can still get bounced out of the country while the COE is being processed. |

| Have you verified that with immigration? I don't think you have to leave while waiting for the COE. |

Yup! I verified it. They told me at the dreaded S counter, though, that going to Korea and coming back during Golden Week was okay. I was hoping I�d be allowed to stay for the COE processing, but that would be the reasonable thing to do, so la migra japonesa would never do such a thing. ^_^ |
