The Nagoya Regional Immigration Services Bureau will be crowded in mid-August

8月中旬は名古屋出入国在留管理局が混雑します

2023/07/25 Tuesday Announcements

Many companies have a vacation period during the Obon holiday (mid-August), so every year many people apply for residency status and other documents.  This means that the counter at the Nagoya Regional Immigration Service Bureau (Nagoya Shutsunyukoku Zairyu Kanrikyoku) will be very busy.

In particular, it is expected to be very busy from the 14th to the 18th of August.

The waiting time will be very long, so if you are not having problems with the status of residence and the period of stay, we recommend that you avoid the busy periods.
