Tokyo long stay visa paperwork 2026?
For a few months, look at the "Specified Visa: Designated Activities" route, usually through a language school sponsor. Rejections almost always come from thin bank statements or a mismatched purpose in your application. Skip the Shibuya charcoal place, it's a tourist trap.
yeah the bank statement thing is real, they want 6 months of history not just a fat balance on the day. Also apply at the immigration bureau in Shinagawa, not city hall, people waste weeks on that mixup.
certificate of eligibility first, that's the real delay
bank statements also need the bank's stamp or a printed transaction history, pdf printouts alone get bounced at the counter. and keep copies of everything, they dont hand stuff back. the shibuya grill thing is overpriced btw
the purpose mismatch one is underrated, write ur itinerary to match the sponsor
Match the zairyu card address too, ward office checks it.
mine got bounced over a missing hanko on the guarantor form
Sponsor's CoE needs their 登記簿謄本 and your school contract matching exact dates, that's where most mismatches start.
Language school route only works if they actually enroll u full time, part time courses dont qualify for the visa.
guardian or spouse visa skips that whole route
Where to find wildlife near Nature Park in Tokyo 2026
Winter counts run through early Feb, Sundays 7am.
Meet at the east gate, bring binoculars.
oh nice, do u know if they still meet at the nature center first or just head straight out?
they gather by the map board inside the entrance first, then split into two groups
Do they still start at the nature center or just head out from the east gate?
Counts usually wrap up the second weekend of February, so check the notice board by the pond gate before you trek out. Last season they cancelled one date for rain and posted the makeup on the center's door.
notice board moved to the west gate last month
last i heard they shifted to saturdays same time, so double check before u head out
The tanuki around the wooded edges are pretty active at dusk, more than people expect. Bring a small torch and keep quiet near the bamboo.
