The Nagoya Regional Immigration Bureau will be busy in mid-August

---

Many companies are on holiday during the Obon holiday (mid-August), so many people apply for residence status every year. As a result, the Nagoya Regional Immigration Bureau’s counters will be very crowded.

It is expected to be particularly busy from August 9, 2024 to August 19, 2024.

As the waiting time will be very long, it is recommended to avoid the busy period as long as your residence status and visa expiration date will not be an issue with your application.
