@lifeinjapanguide: “If your visa is about to expire in Japan… don’t panic but don’t wait.” Step 1: Apply early • You can apply up to 3 months before expiry • Don’t wait till the final week Step 2: What happens after you apply • You get a processing period (grace period) • You can legally stay while waiting Step 3: Documents matter • Job proof / school documents • Tax + insurance (important!) Step 4: If you delay • Risk of rejection • Stress + limited options #F#FYPF#ForYouJ#JapanLifeF#ForeignersInJapanJapanReality
