Immigration Information Center

The Japanese Ministry of Justice’s Immigration Information Center is the best place to call for all immigration related issues. It’s located in Tokyo inside the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau, but you can call them from anywhere in Japan (or, presumably, from outside Japan). The staff there speak a variety of foreign languages.

Live and Work in Japan

Their phone number is (03) 5796-7112, and they’re open from 9am till 4pm, Monday to Friday. They have a lunch hour from noon to 1pm. According to the website, the services they offer are

  • Guidance on procedures to apply for entry permission for spouses, employees and others.
  • Guidance on procedures for acquiring or changing status of residence and extending periods of stay.
  • Guidance on alien registration procedures.
  • Guidance on various documents required for applications.
  • Guidance on general immigration matters.

There are other Immigration Information Centres throughout Japan — see the Ministry of Justice’s list of immigration offices throughout Japan.

    Good afternoon. This is to report a girl named LEN OLIVA BATIANCILA (LYKA). She is married to a japanese man and entered japan as his spouse. But the marriage was just a front and she is paying the japanese citizen for her papers. This is still illegal since she is using someone especially a japanese man.

    The said LEN OLIVA BATIANCILA is working as an entertainer in Saitama. I hope this report will stop everyone who is using a japanese guy for their own good.

    Hi. I am a concern citizen. I would like to give an information about a person who is working and staying in your country illegally. Her name was Mary Ann Evangelista, Filipina, born on December 5, 1981. She worked in IWAKUNI SHI YAMAGUCHI KEN JAPAN as “Talento” or “entertainer”. Then, she was imprisoned because of the illegality of the club where she was working. Then, she was deported.
    After how many months, she filed again using her sister’s name- Marilyn Evangelista- Matsumoto. She is married and has one daughter. They are living in WAKAYAMA SHI JAPAN. She owned a club named Galaxy (Garakushi). Until now, she is using the name ” Marilyn Evangelista-Matsumoto” also known as “Bhecky Matsumoto”.
    She used fake passport. Kindly check the passports because they have the same picture.

    Hoping for your immediate action.

    Thank you!
