Re-Entry Permit Application
August 4, 2026
The permit system for foreign residents in Japan to temporarily leave and re-enter the country.
Foreign residents living in Japan need a 'Re-Entry Permit' to leave and then return to Japan. However, those eligible under the 'deemed re-entry permit' category do not require a special permit. There are two types of re-entry permits: single-use and multiple-use. Applications should be made before departure, and fees are required. Please check with your local immigration office for detailed procedures and application locations.
