From July 9th 2012, the revision of the Immigration Act will take effect. There will be significant changes, such as the Certificate of Alien Registration will be abolished and the Residence Card will be introduced instead. On one hand, people with visas will have to submit more reports and notifications to the Immigration Bureau etc. On the other hand, people without visas will not be able to get Residence Cards, so they will not have any documents to identify themselves.

It is important for both people with and without visas to clearly understand these changes in the new Immigration Act. In this symposium, the speakers will tell us why the Immigration Act was revised and what the new content is. Later, there will be time to discuss specific issues such as what kind of measures should be taken based on the participants’ visa category. If you have worries about the new Immigration Act, you can use this opportunity and ask.
