Reader JG is concerned about the changes made to the law on immigration, which was passed in 2009 and is scheduled for July 2012 According to the Office-immigration ..., the Ministry of Justice and immigration lawyers in the implementation of the new law, private individuals, some of the major changes.Alien registration card (soon to become a "residence card") is no longer in the first place, will be given to the local level. July the following year, the Ministry of Justice assumes responsibility for submitting the residence card.When the Act comes into force, the expenditure of the reception of the force for the medium-or long-term visa to come to the residence card is the point of arrival. In cases where port authorities are not in the way of this — presumably smaller airports and sea ports instead of the main regional hubs — the card will be sent to you.The current medium-term and long-term residents of Japan becomes the new card when they apply for visas from next July 2012 (for permanent residents must apply for a card in July 2015).The new law essentially combines systems of Japan and to non-Japanese system with Net Juki nationwide registry established in 2002, which contains the basic information for all citizens.
Very controversial, it has been submitted by a further, more than in the whole country, a number of privacy lawsuits. The Supreme Court ruled in 2008, the Juki Net does not infringe any rights of privacy, the entry into force of the new legislation, the Constitution is not guaranteed When the.-Japanese of this national system will be introduced, with the result that the residence card issued directly by the Bureau of immigration, local government instead.The residence card, the details of the update will also change when the new law comes into force. Currently, local government, the Office will deal with most of your personal information changes, but the new law, almost all of the notifications shall be submitted to the nearest Immigration Office.For example, the name or nationality, the employer or school information and family relationships (e.g., separation, divorce, death of spouse) all of the processes of Immigration-Office.
Address of registration and changes still treats the City Hall.In addition, if the residence permit, the card is lost, damaged or stolen, rather than going to City Hall, you will need to visit the rotation of the Office of immigration. A schedule in which shall be so made, however, is still the same: within 14 days.This may sound like they are for those who do not reside near the Immigration Office, even if the migration requires a new system that would facilitate the procedures and require fewer visits to the offices of the State. Immigration will consider allowing the residents to make certain declarations to the online or by post, especially for those who do not reside near the Immigration Office, although this has yet to decide.Failed to notify the immigration of workers to change, the address, and other important information, false information, or if the address or address change to register with the City Hall, the potential penalties are stiff. However, the proposed sanctions are only slightly different than the options (on offense) in the current region, and include a fine of ¥ 200,000, imprisonment or deportation. Before the new system starts, it is not clear how or if these penalties have dished all in a different way than they are now out. When we asked the Immigration Office, they said, sanctions are dealt with as they are at the moment.
According to the immigration attorney Masahito Nakai, they who suffer the most in the new system is undocumented. "Previously, each region has its own implementation of their services to as many non-Japanese expired visas could get different levels of care, "he says. "Now it is worrisome that the penalties provided for the changes may not be onerous, and to immigration by going to the new card, and other changes instead of the local City Office, it may prove to be a problem."Other changes (and, according to the Ministry of Justice, on the merits), this new system include:, an extension of the maximum stay: theof a new system to extend the stay of not more than three years to five.Revision to allow the re-entry of the system:According to the new law, Medium-, long-term residents with a valid passport or residence card shall no longer apply for a permit, if they leave and return to Japan within a year.In addition, the term of validity of the re-entry permit those who are going to be absent for longer than 12 months will be extended from three to five years.Personal information to a new card, less:Comment on alien registration card, and you see a wide amount of personal information. New items in the residence card is no longer a resident of the include, place of birth, passport number, occupation, and employer's name and location name. (However, many see this as a negative, than this personal information will be added to the national registry instead.)For more information about the upcoming changes in the visit (in English) and www.immi-moj.go.jp/english/newimmiact/newimmiact_english.html www.immi-moj.go.jp/newimmiact/pdf/leaflet_english.pdfPlease note that the above information is subject to change, even if the major changes now, and most likely between July 2012.
