They give you a 教授ビサ for that? お疲れさん!! Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I'm thinking of letting my PR status slide after my current re entry visa expires (Dec 2010). I think it will benefit me more when I visit Japan allowing me to use the JR rail pass. If I ever come back I can get the spouse visa easily. Link to post Share on other sites
miller 1 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 If you don't renew the re-entry does the PR visa get nulled? Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 ah hang on. I think that would be a no, but if you don't have a re-entry permit when you leave Japan, then they cancel your visa. As long as you don't leave Japan then it remains valid. Link to post Share on other sites
