Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Now Allows Early Notification of Residency Before Address Is Confirmed

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has made it possible to submit a residency notification before leaving Japan.

Until now, it was only possible to submit a notification after arriving in the country of residence and once the address had been confirmed. From May 1, it will be possible to submit notifications up to 90 days before leaving Japan, even before an address is confirmed, through the “Online Residency Notification (ORR Net).”

As a result, even before leaving Japan, it will be possible to receive safety information issued by overseas embassies and consulates, as well as useful information for living abroad, via email. The ministry encourages early notification after deciding to move abroad.
