Important Information after Entering Japan
After entering Japan, Indians may have to carry out the following procedures, depending on their residence status. All these procedures should be undertaken at nearest immigration authority. Although these procedures are not related to obtaining visa, but are included here for reference.

This is required when an Indian wishes to remain in Japan under same status of  residence after originally authorized term of residence has expired. Applications must be made before expiry of the term of residence.

(d) Permission for Permanent Residence
This is required when an Indian residing in Japan intends to acquire a permanent resident status.

(e) Permission to Acquire a Status of Residence
This is required when an Indian stays in Japan without going through entry procedures (like, when a foreign baby born in Japan/ person renounces Japanese nationality) and wishes to remain in Japan for more than 60 days after its occurrence.

(f) Certificate of Work Eligibility
This certificate is issued to Indians who have status of residence permitting them to work.

(i) Cancellation of Passport Endorsements
When an Indian no longer requires status of residence because, for example, he/she has acquired Japanese nationality, he/she must have all valid stamps in his/her passport cancelled.

Indians staying in Japan for more than 90 days are obliged to complete alien registration. (They will be given Certificate of Alien Registration which they must always carry.)
