[QUOTE="David, post: 584, member: 2"] I went for a marriage visa and then permanent residency. If I recall correctly with the marriage visa, they only wanted to see around 300,000 in a Japanese savings account and previous work history. As far as permanent residency, I showed them an ATM receipt, as it was in an international bank account, that showed my balance and last 4 or 5 digits of my card number. You should be fine if you can show receipts (not required proof) of how you're staying here as well as if you have enough money to make it another 90 days, which anywhere from 300,000 to 500,000 yen should suffice—less if you have prepaid expenses such as your hotel, etc. This is a definite requirement to bring. And if I recall correctly, switching or extending visas is not a problem. All they will do is "restamp it" (staple a piece of paper in where your old one is) and then it's the wait game. You'll receive a postcard in the mail in as little as two weeks telling you (in Japanese) if you were approved or not. Then, you just go back in to immigration and get a new stamp with a new exit date and I believe to city hall, if you have a residence card, for them to write your new exit date on the back. Different visas require different things, which sometimes "change", so I do think you should go in. I would recommend Naha over the Kadena branch though as I believe their interpreter and assistant is much better at handling foreign language questions. [/QUOTE]
