As a US citizen living in Japan, where do I go to get travel visas? -

I currently have a work visa. It will expire in January. After that, I want to travel in Japan for a week, then other places in Asia, and then possibly return to Japan to travel for longer. Where do I go to take care of all this? I live in Osaka.

you can probably extend or change your status. Ask US embassy in Japan about that. Most places in Asia doesn t require visa, usually when you arrive, they will give you visa. But if you want to go to China or Dubai call the embassy to inquire about getting a visa.

When your current work visa expires, you will need to leave the country. At that point you can visit the places in Asia. Regrading your next phase to work in Japan again, you will need to have your next or current employer prepare the working visa all over again. If your current employer will extend your employment, then you need to go to the 入国管理局 Osaka Regional Immigration Bureau 1-29-53 Nankou Kita, Suminoe-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Pref.
