I just finished my employment visa extension recently, so sharing a small review in case it helps someone. Yesterday on my evening walk, I passed the photo/printing shop near my building and it reminded me how useful it was to prepare copies, ID photos, and company papers before the reservation day 🙂 I’m not sure if every case is the same, but for me checking the official immigration website, calling 1345 once, and asking HR for a document list made the visit pretty smooth. My advice is to make a simple folder with originals on one side and copies on the other, because it saves a lot of stress at the counter.

私は先日、就労ビザの延長手続きを終えたばかりなので、誰かの参考になればと思い、簡単な体験談を共有します。昨日の夕方の散歩で、自宅近くの写真・印刷店の前を通ったのですが、予約日の前にコピー、証明写真、会社書類を準備しておくことがとても役立ったのを思い出しました 🙂 すべてのケースが同じとは限りませんが、私の場合は、公式の出入国管理局のウェブサイトを確認し、1345に一度電話をかけ、人事部に必要書類の一覧をお願いしたことで、手続きはかなりスムーズでした。私からのアドバイスは、原本を片側、コピーを反対側に入れたシンプルなフォルダを作ることです。窓口でのストレスをかなり減らせます。
