What you can settle without going

  • You can register your address abroad through ORR net instead of at the counter.
  • You can download and fill in the passport application form before your appointment.
  • You can have the Certificate of Eligibility applied for in Japan by your sponsor.

    • A single visit can often cover several services, so ask what else you can bring while you are there.
