Japan Immigration Update

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.

The content of this article is intended to provide a general

guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought

about your specific circumstances.
