To renew my visa I took a photo at a 証明写真 booth. The background is automatically blue. I was wondering if this is ok for the visa photo. The immigration website doesn’t say anything about background color. https://www.moj.go.jp/isa/applications/procedures/photo_info_00002.html Anyone else get accepted with a blue visa photo? I didn’t realize at the time if I chose Premium, I could have chosen a white background, but I don’t want to spend another 1000¥ right now.

I used to see a lot of great Japanese TV and film on American platforms like Netflix, but now it seems K-dramas dominate screens - what happened to the Japanese TV landscape in America?

All my visa photos have blue background.
I thought blue was the normal color so you should be okay. Mine is brown.
Those machines usually advertise themselves as being able to do photos for status of residence renewals.
So, if lt did, it should be fine.
Mine have always been blue. It’s a standard background colour for ID pics
If the requirement doesn’t state background color you’re fine. Some country explicitly states “plain white background” for their requirement, but for zairyu card is fine.
As long as the background is a single ‘neutral’ colour they don’t mind.
Ironically I’ve had two 3 years visas (one 3 year work visa and one 3 year spouse visa). Both of those had blue backgrounds
Then the others Ive had, had a white background were all 1 years haha
