【Important Notes on the Application for Extension of Period of Stay】
You can apply from three months before the expiration date of your period of stay and must apply by the expiration date. (Certain exceptions apply.)
After applying for an extension, you can leave Japan under a re-entry permit (including a deemed re-entry permit). However, you must return and complete the extension procedure by the date that is two months after the expiration of your current period of stay.
(You must be in Japan both when applying for the extension and when receiving the new residence card after approval.)
※ Exception Period ( 特例期間 / tokurei kikan)
If no decision is made on your application for extension by the expiration date of your current period of stay, you may continue to stay in Japan until either a decision is made or two months after the expiration date, whichever comes first.
