  1. its really easy. didn't even take that long. As far as I can remember, there weren't any forms to fill out, just hand over your old gaij card and passport, they take it and do some magic through in the back room, then give you your passport, new card and old card (with a hole punched thru it) back to you. If you are updating your visa at the same time then it may take longer and there will be forms to fill in

     

    I didn't have any forms to fill in for mine. They took my card and updated it for me, without even asking me! :angry:

  2. Re-entry permits no longer exist, irregardless of which card you have.

     

    If your visa runs out before your gaijin card, then you will get a new visa AND a resident card. If your gaijin card runs out before your visa, then you will get a new resident card that will replace the gaijin card and visa.

     

    When you leave the country, you do not need a re-entry permit as long as you return within, I think, a year of departure.
