I am considering a temporary return to Japan for the first time in several years. I am considering going a little longer, but I don't think I should have been allowed to stay for any number of days.
I am a permanent resident. What is the maximum length of stay in Japan ? Please let me know if you know. Thank you in advance.

There is no limit to stay in Japan because permanent residents are Japanese nationals. lol
On the contrary, if you stay outside the US for more than 6 months, you may have your permanent resident status revoked.

On the other hand, when I got my GC 2 years ago, my lawyer warned me that
if you leave for more than 6 months, please consult and was.
At the practical level, such as immigration, more than 6 months may be a problem.

I hope this helps.

It appears that the application for the Hale Kalele low income condo on Piikoi Street began
on 2/1 and the lottery was held on 4/4.
Did you get a lottery number when you submitted the application and all required documents ?
or did only those who qualified through screening after submission get
lottery numbers ?
If you know the process, please share information. Please share this information with us.

Hello.
After submitting the application and required documents, the lottery was held on April 4 and Hale Kalele contacted the winners of the lottery.

Thank you !

I was a little doubtful
because in Japan the lottery is open to the public to avoid fraud.
So you were given a
lottery number once the application form and all required documents were received by the destination?
I think the screening fee alone was
quite a lot since so many people applied.

I have been cured of corona, but I was told that PCR can cause a positive reaction for a long time even if there is no virus
Japan itself does not recommend PCR after the cure, but I have to take something in order to go to Japan, so I was wondering if you have any experience on what to do in such a case. So I don't want to do PCR.

I am returning to Japan in a few days after having a PCR for flea health.

I heard through the rumor mill that JAL and ANA allow you to board if your MySOS is green with negative proof of NomiHealth uploaded, but Hawaiian Airlines may not allow you to board even if your MySOS is green.

Please share your stories if you have returned or will return on Hawaiian Airlines !.

I will be returning in Hawaiian in a few days.
I will have a printout of the PCR results from Nomi Health ready just in case. If this is the case with Hawaiian, it is strange that different airport companies handle the same Japan-bound flight differently.
Even though they are affiliated with JAL.

In the website of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, regarding the submission of inspection certificates,

●If it is difficult to use the prescribed format, submission of any format is not prohibited, but the "contents to be included in the inspection certificate" must be fulfilled.
●Only a test certificate that describes valid specimens, test methods, etc. will be considered valid.
・ Please confirm the prescribed items such as specimen and test method, etc. that are considered valid.
・ Please make sure that there are no omissions in the test certificate.
・ Please make sure that there are no omissions on the test certificate, such as specimen name of "Throat (swab/smear) ( Throat swab )" or test method of "Rapid antigen (test/kit) ( Rapid antigen test )", etc., which are not permitted in Japan. Please check with the local laboratory before acquiring a certificate as some certificates may be invalid due to the specimen name or test method described.
・ In case of an optional form, please cooperate with us to ensure smooth confirmation of the test certificate by marking the specimen, test method, and other necessary items in the appropriate sections.
・ Medical institution ・ The name and seal of the physician may be regarded as a valid certificate at the discretion of the quarantine officer, since there are circumstances where it is not always possible to obtain the name and seal in each country.

According to US rules, I need to present the negative certificate of the test 3 days after my return to Hawaii to be able to return to work. I would like to know if there is a place in Hawaii like Kinoshita Group in Japan where I can receive the test results by email in 10 minutes.
Thank you in advance.

R&B,

The CVS appointment page says antigen testing is a few hours.


By the way, according to the CDC page, if you have been vaccinated, testing within 3-5 days of entering the US is RECOMMENDED.
Does the workplace where you work apply strict standards?

I will receive my green card soon. When I receive it, I plan to purchase an airline ticket and go to Japan for the first time in several years. Is there any problem if I travel outside of the U.S. without any formalities once the card arrives in my hands? I was worried. I posted this because I thought I could hear from people who have obtained a green card through Vivi. Please let me know if you know what to expect. Thank you in advance.

I think you are wrong about not being allowed to leave the U.S. for more than a year, but I don't see any specific information about that in a search, so I think it would be better to check directly with Immigration.

Maybe you misunderstood
that staying outside the US for more than a year is considered renouncing your permanent residence status
.

I have never been outside the US since I got my GC in 2020.
However, I was not told by my lawyer that I should not leave the US within a year of obtaining the GC.
Below is a link to the relevant page of the Immigration Bureau.
I hope this helps.

It is the experience of an old timer who got a GC by marriage and has already renewed it many times, but I was advised by others not to leave the country during the temporary GC, but if I went to the immigration office before my trip to report that I was going to Japan from when to when, they would write a note to that effect on the page of my passport and They also stamped my passport with an immigration stamp. This was in the days when immigration was located across the street from Restaurant Row. If I had any concerns, I would take my passport and go to the immigration office for advice. It was an analog era, but immigration was closer to us than it is now. During the Corona Disaster, I had to renew my GC, but this time I was able to renew it online without fingerprinting or an interview. It is a convenient era, isn't it? If you have any concerns about leaving the country, I think you should ask immigration before you leave, so that things will go smoothly at the airport immigration when you return.

Back in 2012, I went outside the US several times within a year of getting my GC and had no problems. The line at immigration is the same as for citizens, and I remember being very impressed with how smoothly I was able to get through the immigration process. Especially since I had been on AOS status for over 5 years before that, so I had to get a travel permit every year and always went to a separate room … I'm in the process of renewing my GC, and it's easy and helpful to be able to do it online now. Fingerprinting seems to be back.

My Return to Japan with Unschooled Experience

I returned to Japan last week by JAL to Narita Airport.
The test for the negative certificate was done by Nomi Health. I made an appointment online and went at my preferred time since I could not set a specific time.
I received my test results within 24 hours, logged in and tried to open the PDF file, but it wouldn't open,
I learned that I had to turn off my pop-up blocker, so I turned it off and went back to the Nomi Health download page and pressed the download button. I went back to the Nomi Health download page and pressed the download button, but the download did not work.
Instead, I long-pressed Sign in, chose Copy Link, and pasted it into Google, where it opened the PDF.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare asks that
children also obtain a negative test certificate.
However, taking into consideration the fact that many countries do not test preschool children under the age of six as part of their national systems, the quarantine service will ask about the individual circumstances of a preschool child (generally under six) who enters Japan accompanied by a parent or other caretaker who lives with the child, and if the caretaker has a negative test certificate, the child is not subject to the test.
If the child has a negative test certificate, the child does not need to have a test certificate. I checked with JAL and they told me that Hawaii requires a negative test certificate because they test from age 0.
My baby was over 6 months so they did the test.

When I checked in with JAL, I was required to show a negative certificate paper.

The test at Narita Airport was changed to a nasal examination halfway through because the baby's saliva did not seem to collect at all.
We walked a long distance in Narita Airport, so we were glad to have the strollers. I was able to leave the airport about 2 hours after getting off the plane.

I know they sell them on Amazon, but
I don't want to wait to buy them if they are available somewhere.
I use it for pets, so it should be cheap.
Has anyone seen them at Home Depot, Lowes, Citymill, etc. ?

I am planning to return to Japan this summer for about a month. For short trips, I have asked a pet sitter or pet hotel to take care of my pets, but this time it will be a little longer, so if it is not too difficult to bring them back, I would like to bring them back with me. If anyone has ever been back to Japan with their pets, we would love to hear about it.

I assisted a person who was planning to bring his dog back to Japan last November, just like you, so here is the information I have for you. First, I think you need to go to the AQS website in Hawaii ( URL below, and prepare the documents according to Checklist 3, after consulting with your veterinarian.
https://hdoa.hawaii.gov/ai/aqs/aqs-info/
The keys are 1 . Microchip, 2 . At least 2 doses of rabies vaccine, 3 . FAVN antibody test data, 4 . Complete and submit Form279 ( Vet's signature required )
The person seems to have returned to Japan safely this spring, so please send me an e-mail and I can introduce him to you.

Thank you very much for your valuable information and opinions. It seems that it is too late to start preparations now that our departure from Japan is only a month away. I regret now that I should have started the preparation earlier. Next time, I would like to proceed as soon as possible based on your information.
