I’ll be moving to a different country from Japan soon. I’ll be entering said country as a tourist and once there, I will process my PR visa. I was thinking of declaring at the airport of Tokyo that I’ll be returning to Japan within a year (Special Re-entry) so they don’t void my work visa yet and Japan could serve as my back up country for a year just in case that my PR to my new destination country doesn’t get approved (which is HIGHLY unlikely). I thought of doing this just to have a safety net.
What do you guys think? Is there anything negative about what I’m about to do or should I just declare right from the get go at narita airport immigration that I won’t return to Japan and they would punch a hole on my zairyu card? Thank you!
Just to add: I’ll be applying for a moving out certificate before leaving.
