月: 2020年3月

20歳の年の差婚をした外国人男性。海外にいる妻に早く日本に行きたいとせがまれ、在留資格の申請が早くおりないかと聞いてきます。3か月はかかりますよ、というと妻のために仕事を辞めて国に帰ろうかと悩んでいます。

いや、ちょっと待ってください(;^_^。

「3か月なんて長～い結婚生活からしたら短いものです。仕事辞めたら貯金も減るし、慣れた人間関係の方が楽でしょう？ 20代の彼女の言うことそんなに早く叶えたらずっと何でも言うこと聞いてもらえると思って後が大変ですよ」というと、「先生もそう思う？家族も同じこと言ってた」「最初が肝心と言われた」と。

思いとどまってくれて良かったです。結婚は続けることの方が大変ですからね。

Age difference marriage

A foreign man who got married with a woman whose age difference is 20. His new wife who lives in abroad is urging him to go to Japan as soon as possible. Therefoe he asks me how he could get her status of residence earlier. I said it will take three months at least. Then he was worried about quitting his job and returning to his country.

No, please wait a moment (; ^ _ ^.

“Three months is a short time compare to a long marriage. If you quit your job, you’ll save less money and be less comfortable on your new work relationships. I think it’s hard for you after you hear everything she said” I said. He said “Do you think so, too? My family said the same thing.”

I’m glad you stopped me. It’s harder to keep married.

①在留期間更新許可申請，②再入国許可申請，③資格外活動許可申請 はオンラインでも可能とご存知ですか？

「外交」「特定技能」「短期滞在」の在留資格は対象外ですが、それ以外は所属機関がカテゴリー１か２（上場企業か 前年分の給与所得の源泉徴収票等の法定調書合計表の源泉徴収票合計表の源泉徴収税額が1,000万円以上ある 企業）ならほぼ対象です。

申請ができるのは 外国人の所属機関の職員、所属機関から依頼を受けた申請取次届済弁護士か行政書士です。入管へ行くことなく24時間オンラインで申請できますが、利用前に入管へ届けが必要です。

一括入力ができるのは便利ですが、保存ができないのは致命的です。取下げできない、有効期間は1年など使い勝手は良いとはいえませんが、技能実習は人数も多いので使うことを検討しても良いと思います。

コロナの影響で仕事のやり方が劇的に変わる、という人もいますので、使い勝手の良しあしに関わらず、使わざるを得なくなるかもしれません。

Online application for foreigin residence procedures

Do you know that you, foreigners can apply by online for (1) renewal of period of stay (2) re-entry permit (3) non-qualification activity ?

The status of residence for “diplomacy,” “specified skilled worker,” and “short-term stay” are not included, but in other cases, the institution that belongs to category 1 or 2 (listed company or last year’s withholding tax in the total table Total tax withholding tax amount is more than 10 million yen).

Persons who can use the online service are the staff of the foreigners belonged institution, lawyers or Gyoseisyoshi lawyers who has received the request from the institution. You can apply online 24 hours without going to immigration, but you need to send online service applicaton to immigration in advance.

Although it is convenient we could input many cases at once, it is fatal that we couldn’t save the cosuments. Also we couldn’t withdraw it and the validity period is one year. It is not easy to use, but I think that you may use in case of technical training.

Some people say that the style of work changes dramatically due to the corona viruses, so we may have to use it regardless of the usability.

とうとうWHOが2020年3月11日パンデミック宣言をしました。

A国にいるお客様から2月に連絡あり、「4月在留資格の更新だが今、日本に行くと14日間隔離される、ひょっとすると日本からの便は入国拒否される可能性すらある。何とか日本に帰らずに在留資格更新できないか」と。

コロナによる入管の特例が発表されましたが、対象が3月更新時期の人のみだったため、お客様は来日されました。2週間自宅待機覚悟で。

しかも来日中に現在の住居が日本からの帰国者は受け入れないと発表があったとか😱。
仕事できないやん。
2月はまだ日本の対応は緩く、A国の方が厳しく、日々入国拒否などの状況が変わっていました。お客様の危機感を共有しきれていなかったのではないかと反省。

Finally, WHO declared pandemic  on March 11, 2020.

My client who lived in A Country contacted me in February, and asked. “I need to extend my status of residence in April, but when I go to Japan, I am isolated for 14 days, and maybe even flights from Japan may be denied entry. Can I somehow extend my status of residence without returning to Japan? “

A special case of immigration by Corona was announced, but  the target was only those who’s expiry date is whithin in March 2020.

So he came to Japan ready to wait at home for 2 weeks after he back to A country.

 Furthermore, it was announced during his visit to Japan that his current home would not accept returnees from Japan. 

He can’t work.

Response of Japan was still loose in February though A country  was more severe. Also the conditions such as refusal to enter countries changed every day.

I wonder that I could share his sense of crisis.

イスラム教の女性。
ヒジャブ（頭に被るベール）被り、とても慎ましく見えます。
が、お客様に夫とのSNS見せてもらったら、💋や💕😘が多用されており、可笑しいやら微笑ましいやら。
教訓:外見に惑わされてはいけない。

Muslim woman.
Hijab (veil on head), looks very modest.
However, when my client showed me the SNS with her husband, 💋 and 💕😘 were heavily used in their post.

It looked funny and smiling.
Lesson: Don’t be misled by appearance.
