[thomas koontz]

I am going to the immigration office in Foo cow ka (I had to spell it that way or else it was bleeped out), Japan to get my visa renewed. Does anyone know where the office is there.

Visas
A visa allows you to stay in Japan for a certain period. Depending on your visa status, you may be able to extend the period of stay. When you leave Japan, the visa expires automatically. If you wish to leave and then re-enter Japan using the same visa before the period of stay has expired, you must apply for a re-entry permit (sai-nyukoku kyoka-sho). See the Re-entry Permits section. Some visas allow you to work full-time or part-time (restricted work hours). It is illegal for a foreigner to stay in Japan after the visa expires, or to engage in activities other than those permitted by the current status of residence. Make sure you understand your status of residence. If you wish to change your visa status, you can apply at the Immigration Bureau (nyukoku kanri kyoku).

Alien registration
Basic Information
All foreign nationals residing in Japan must register their status of residence and address at a municipal office. Register at the ward office of the area you live in within 90 days of arriving in Japan (*beep*). Upon registration, you will receive your alien registration card (gaikokujin toroku shomei-sho). Persons over 16 years of age must carry their alien registration card with them at all times and present it when requested. The cards are also useful as identification, when opening a bank account, buying a phone, or obtaining library membership.

Foreigners excluded from registration requirements
●Those visiting Japan for less than 90 days
●Children of non-Japanese born in Japan who will leave Japan within 60 days of birth
●Diplomats and government officials
●Members and civilian employees of the armed forces of the United States of America or United Nations Forces and their dependents residing in Japan

Initial registration
Apply for alien registration in person at the Citizens' Section (shimin-ka) of your local ward office by filling out an application for alien registration. You will need your passport and two photos (taken within the last 6 months) to register. Documents are available mostly in Japanese and English. If necessary, it is better to have a Japanese-speaking friend accompany you. If you are employed, you should bring a document displaying the name and address of your employer (business card, envelope, employee ID, etc).

Notifying changes
Any changes in your registration status must be reported to the Citizens' Section of your ward office within 14 days. These include your address, occupation, status of residence, nationality, period of stay, employer, birth of children, and marital status.
