Hello,
I’m planning to move to Japan next August on the J-Find visa. I haven’t applied yet, but I heard its super useful to get your middle name removed, so I’m considering getting a new passport and having my middle name removed.
The only possible catch is I was issued 2 CoEs in the past using my current passport with my middle name. First CoE (teaching English, June 2020-June 2021) I canceled due to Covid delays and saving enough money to go to language school, second CoE (student visa, August 2021-January 2022) I also canceled due to continued Covid delays.
Just wondering if anyone knows if changing my name at this point (or any point in the future) will cause problems in the visa process/with immigration. I anticipate bringing my current passport when I apply just in case there are issues if I decide to go through with applying for a new passport.
