What Is Status of Residence?

With a few exceptions, the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act requires all non-Japanese citizens staying in Japan to do so as holders of a “status of residence” that accords with the purpose of their stay. Please refer to the Ministry of Justice’s Immigration Bureau website for more.

Reference: Acquiring a status of residence (Article 22, Paragraph 2 of the Immigration Control Act) (Immigration Services Agency of Japan)

When applying for a status of residence, be sure to closely consult your prospective employer.

Procedure After Entering the Country

Once you are in Japan and have a place of residence, you must register this address within 14 days at the offices of the municipality (city, ward, town, or village) that your residence is located in. Please be sure to bring your residence card.
