We got deployed from Jap. and my son dont get a visa we dont know the reason and detain in immigration for 2 mos. The father of my son is a Japanese and he told us to settle it in Japanese Embassy here in the Phil. I want to know the procedures here in the Phil.
I worked in japan last 2001 to 2004 for 4 times, I want to know how to get a police certificates from japan embassy in the philippines, for my k1 visa interview, which is 3 days fom now.
can u give me an email address to report an overstay foriegner in your country.. as well us a foriegner married to a japanese just to seek her residence visa.. she just pay to a japanese.. but she is with an overstay foriegner.. thanks
Mohammad, you could try the Immigration Information Centre website to see if there is an email address there. I don’t know what the procedure is for reporting overstayers.
I wanted to report a relative of mine.She is using a valid visa right now but the worst part of it is that she was deported back in the Philipines before using other name.The problem is his husband is also using a valid visa which is actually not him.Therefore,both of them are using other name which is also different from their name they are using in the Philippines.She also stood as a guarrantor to my 6 relatives and presently that six people are over staying in Gifu City.Actually She even make those people pay for what what she have helped those person.Can I have an emal address of the nearest iimigration center in Nagoya or either in Gifu City?
Hope you will keep me posted on it or might as well took an action on this.
Thank you very much
I am just concern for those people whom she obliged to pay her though she really helped a lot but too greedy for her and actually she may be considered violating the laws for using a name which is not actually her as well with his husband..
The first time she entered Japan,she already used another name and the worst now is she is holding a valid visa but not really her because her surname is different in the Philippines and so with his husband.She even reported also illegal aliens before but she does not even consider that she was also like that before.She does not have any pity for those who are working illegally just to feed and fill the needs of their love ones in the Philippines.Good for her because she really invested a lot and save a lot through her illegal actions done,how about the others striving to survive?
I think she had enough and so with his husband..
My husband’s nephew is married to a japanese national in the philippines. Her husband brought her to japan but after 2 months the girl ran away from her husband. Now she is living in with another man, a filipino who is also an illegal alien. Her husband had already filed a divorce and was approved. So she is now an illegal alien.
Actually I dont care if she is illegal alien or not but what bothers me is that this girl is using us for her to survive here in japan. She ask my husband to send remittance to her familywhich is really big amount, by using our bank account and name. Everytime shet meets a problem, she run to us. What i hate most is that she only come to us when she needs us, after that, even a simple thanks is not in her mind. I am really now menaced by this girl and i want her to stop disturbing us.
We have permanent resident’s visa, we pay our taxes and dues to the japanese government. That girl who earns and sends big amount of money to the philippines who does not pay taxes and dues is menacing us.
Can you please help us with our problem?
Her name is MERLAIDY LACANG who resides in Kasugai City near the lotteria
I hope you could help us with this.
I want to know if it is possible for me to change my nationality from Filipino Citizen to Japanese Citizen? What are the procedures and requirements and where to file application.
Thank you very much!

Hai,
I just come back from Iwakura, Nagoya City in Japan. I going for holidays for about 2 weeks. Nagoya is very clean and peacefull place to go. The problem is only, there is so many overstays people from pakistan and Philiphines. Its was okey if they only want to work in Japan, but they also give problem to another people. I always been disturbed by them. And I saw a lot of pakistan guys married to Japanese old ladies just to get a visa. Same to the Philiphines girls, they also married to old Japanese guys. When they get their visa they will find another guys much younger.
Why Japane immigration simply give a visa for this type of people. They also earn a lot of money for their service. Been a paper husband/wife for a several time until they get a visa.
