hi everyone~jw…
if you quit your job (3 year Humanities/Specialist visa still has 1.5 years until it needs to be renewed), can you travel abroad during the "3 month period" before immigration contacts you? (ik you have to tell immigration about being unemployed after 14 days). I'm curious because I'm looking to quit my job and move to a different part of Japan, but would like to travel back home during that 3 month gap and possibly travel again somewhere in asia once back in japan (during the 3 month gap), since I know I won't have any pto for awhile when I start my new job. So is it okay to go abroad a few times during your 3 month gap? also, I heard if you've been paying unemployment insurance in japan (i have been for 3 years), that you can go to hello japan and get some daily allowance (less if you quit). but i read that you have to come back every 28 days to show you're looking for a job. if you're out of the country (traveling to home country for a month) during that time, does the daily allowance stop? sorry for yapping, there's just so many layers to this so i wanted to be prepared, and it's hard finding real answers online. also worth asking if you can also travel after the 3 month gap if you're still unemployed, or if that really is a no no. Thank you!!!
