Japan So I went to immigration office today

[island cyclist]

My Permanent Resident card will expire next year, so I was told by someone here that I'll need a sponsor , but I found out I may not have a sponsor so I went to the immigration office to ask a few questions. One, I don't need a sponsor and two, even though my income is at poverty level, it seems that won't be a problem for me also.
So hopefully a background check comes out OK and I'll stay in Japan. I actually don't want to return to America, at least not yet.

I honestly can't tell you. I just pulled out my ID and looked at the dates.

It was issued in 2019 and requires to be renewed on the same day/month of 2026 so I assumed it was 7.

Let us know if your new ID expires in 7 or not.
