Let's take a look at the main difficulties of immigrating to and even living in Japan<\/strong><\/em>.\"\"
Immigrating brings about major changes in an immigrant's psychological state, such as adjusting to a foreign country, living a new life, culture shock, and new diets and lifestyles. culture shock, and new diets and lifestyles.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Moving to another country is a serious psychological test<\/strong><\/em> for any person.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the first stage, a person is filled with euphoria from the implementation of his plans. In the end, all visas were accepted, residence permits were issued, and the move went well. Life is beautiful and wonderful. You can exhale and relax. It seems that nothing is impossible anymore.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Gradually, the joy of movement is replaced by irritation.
There will be an understanding that immigrants are no longer tourists and that they have not only rights but also responsibilities.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What are your responsibilities in Japan?<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

After obtaining your visa, you have decided where you will live in Japan. You may rent an apartment, share a room, or rent an isolated house.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We'll explain the shopping list for life later. (stay tuned!) These are also required.\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But there is something more important.\u00a0
First of all, you have to apply to the City hall where you live!<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First you have to go to City Hall.
If you wish to extend your period of stay, you will need to complete legal procedures.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In Japan, everyone, including Japanese nationals, is required to have a \"Certificate of Residence\" (jyuuminnhyou).<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This proves that this person lives here. Also, taxes and social insurance are determined based on this address.
Furthermore, by having a resident card, you will be able to receive various public services.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In this way, in order to live comfortably in Japan, it is essential to first obtain a resident card.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So how do you obtain a resident card?<\/em><\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

\"The location is the government office.\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In Japan, it is mainly called \"City hall\". In Tokyo, it would be the \"Ward office\".
It is said that you must register as a resident within 14 days after deciding your address.
All you need is your residence card<\/em><\/strong> and passport.<\/em><\/strong>
The resident card looks like this.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Once you have registered your address (and obtained your resident card), get a copy of your resident card.
(300 yen is required, not that expensive, yay!)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can receive a paper like the one below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You don't use it often, so please keep it at home.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you need it, bring a copy with you when a Japanese person asks you to bring your resident card (you can get a copy at a convenience store).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With best regards in Japan,<\/p>\n
