Planning to separate from the US military from Japan next year. My wife is a Japanese national. We plan to move into a smaller apartment from our current home.
Upon leaving the military, will I simply go to city hall/immigration and create a Zairyu card and swap my visa status?
Any advice is appreciated! Excited to leave active duty and pursue other IT系 opportunities.

1)Go to the “Immigration Services Agency Of Japan” website
2) read through -follow instructions
3) you may need a lawyer
4) You will STILL HAVE TO PAY TAXES TO U.S. Government-I.R.S.
5) U.S. & Japan have a reciprocal “Tax Treaty”.
6) Go to the Reddit Chat ” JapanFinance” Great Information and Guidance.
7) Good Luck —
