Application for Change of Status of Residence/Japan Visa Application Service

1.What is an Application for Change of Status of Residence?

In simple language this is just an application to change visas. Your 'status of residence' is just the type of visa you currently have. This is applicable to those who already have a visa in Japan who want to engage in different activities.

Some examples of this include:
・A person studying at Japanese university who graduates and then wants to start a job
・Somebody working full-time at a company who wants to quit and establish their own business.
・A person who gets married to a Japanese national etc. while living in Japan

There are a wide variety of reasons that one may need to change visas but the principle is largely the same. If your situation changes so that you no longer fit the requirements of your current visa you will need to apply for a different status of residence.

2. Useful Information

・Unlike Visa renewals there is no requirement to wait until 3 months before the expiry of your current visa to apply for a change of status. Ideally you would apply as soon as possible.

・Similar to visa renewals there is a 2-month 'grace period'. This means that as long as you submit your application before the expiry of your current visa.
