grungy-gonads 54 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Just having a bit of a panic here seeing my re-entry is up now, before I go back to UK. Do I need to renew that or does that new system mean I don't need to? Link to post Share on other sites
JellyBelly 1 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 If you changed over to the new Residence Card, you do not need re-entry. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Nope, you do not need one. When you get to Narita or Haneda, they will give you a visa stamp that gives you a one year reentry limit. That's all you need regardless of your residence card, as some people are still on the old style ones. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 It's all jolly confusing. I had a bit of a panic the other day when I saw my most recent re-entry as being valid until March this year. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 The booklet sent out to help us understand it all didn't help much did it. Talk about making a meal of explaining something!! Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 As Man said, no need for the re-entry gaijin tax anymore Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 That is good as I havent updated my gaijin card to the new system and I will mostly likely be going to Singapore next month on a business trip so good to know. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Just make sure you check the みなし再入国許可 box on the form as you leave, and not the other one (forget what it is called) -- if you check the wrong box, I think you will cancel your residence permit. (Oops!) Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Thanks Metabo I will be sure to check. Link to post Share on other sites
