Japan Immigration Update
March 13, 2020
Please be informed that the Japanese Immigration Bureau has extended the expiration date of Certificate of Eligibilities (CoE) for another 90 days due to the COVID-19. So, all CoEs will be valid for 6 months from the date of issue rather than the typical three month validity.
Please note that if the assignee applies for a Japanese entry visa after 3 months, the sponsoring company in Japan must issue a letter that the assignee, and his accompanying dependents, must submit to the Japanese consulate along with the typical visa documents.
