The Nagoya Immigration Bureau will be busy during the New Year and New Year holidays!!

---

During the year-end and New Year period, many businesses are closed for the holiday period, so every year many people apply for residency status and other documents.  This means that the counter at the Nagoya Immigration Office (Nagoya Chutsunyukoku Zairyu Kanrikyoku – 名古屋出入国在留管理局) is very busy.

Waiting times can be very long, so if your residency status and length of stay do not interfere with your application, we recommend that you avoid busy periods.
