 The Certificate of Eligibility -----Japanese-----
|
1.The Certificate of Eligibility
The certificate of eligibility proves that the relevant foreign national
conforms the conditions for landing .By presenting this certificate at
the time of the examination for landing,the examination procedures will
be smoothly carried out. The status of residence of "Temporary Visitor",for
such purposes as "sightseeing",visiting relatives", and
"short-term business", is not covered by this system.
Note:You cannot enter Japan only with a certificate of eligibility.
You need to receive the issuance of visa at a diplomatic mission abroad by presenting your certificate of eligibility. The Certificate doesnot always guarantee your entering Japan. You might be denied landing Japan if the landing examination has revealed that you obviously fail to satisfy the landing permission standards as your circumstances have changed.

2.Applicant
An application for issuance of a certificate of eligibility may be filed by a foreign national who intends to enter Japan by himself or via his agent.
For example, an agent for a foreign national who intends to work in Japan shall be a staff member of the organization wishing to accept the foreign national, and an agent for a foreign national who has married a Japanese national and intends to enter Japan shall be the Japanese national who is the spouse of the foreign national.
3.Where to Submit
At a regional bureau or a branch that has the jurisdiction over the location
of the organization accepting the foreign national or the domicile of his
relative who will serve as his agent, or at a regional immigration bureau
that has the jurisdiction over the location of the organization accepting
the foreign national or the domicile of his relative who will serve as
his agent.
4.Expiry
The Certificate of Eligibility is effective for three months. So, if you fail to apply for landing Japan within three months after receiving the certificate, the certificate will naturally expire.
Note: The effective period of the Certificate of Eligibility is different from that of your visa.
