Losing you job wouldn’t be such a bad thing. It would give you time to travel the country, study and drink even more cheap beer.

Great write up. I ended up in a similar situation myself once and at first it was scary. Like you said, you don't want to go back to a tourist visa if at all possible. If you are unsure whether or not your contract will be canceled then you should ask your employer as soon as possible. .-= Japanese phrases´s last blog ..A New Platform to Learn Japanese Phrases: Games =-.

Well, Jonas, I’m afraid you’re not going to find it documented anywhere, officially. You see, they don’t really want you to know you can do it. It’s just another facet of Japanese culture (covert lies and bureaucratic bullshit) that you will discover more of the longer you stay.

I don’t have to leave the country?! That sounds great. I would also be very happy if you could document this somewhere… I read most of the Immigration Act but this slipped my mind as I was mainly focused on complicaitons about “Getting In”.

Thanks,
Jonas

Justin, He is correct. You don't have to leave the country to change your visa. It is very difficult to find documentation since immigration does not encourage this, but it is possible. .-= Japanese words´s last blog ..Great Video Series to Learn Japanese =-.

You certainly can convert from a temporary visitor visa to another kind without leaving the country, it's what I did. My employers arranged it for me and I don't have the details to hand. Your local immigration office would certainly be able to confirm. I think this wasn't possible until "fairly recently" so there is a lot of misinformation flying about. .-= ThePenguin´s last blog ..Blow, not suck =-.

You don’t need to leave to convert a tourist visa? Recruitment company I’m working with is telling me that I do… and “I saw some guy’s blog” isn’t a counter argument that will make me sound smart. How can I prove this to them? I have seriously done TONS of web searches for something other than “blog rumors” or “forum rumors” that this is in fact the law, but I have not come up with anything but contradictory gaijinpot forum posts and blogs… Please help if you know what I can do to save needing a last-minute round trip ticket across the world for no good reason !
