Extension of Residence Certificate Validity for Myanmar Nationals

July 31, 2026
The Immigration Services Agency of Japan announced an extension for the validity of the Certificate of Eligibility for Myanmar nationals from three to six months.
Due to delays in issuing Overseas Worker Identification Cards by the Myanmar Ministry of Labour, Japan has extended the validity of the Certificate of Eligibility for Myanmar nationals. This applies to those holding a valid visa after specific application procedures at the Japanese Embassy in Myanmar. For details and confirmation, please refer to official announcements.
