Almost a decade ago, I left Japan after studying Japanese at a language school on a student visa. I might soon get an opportunity to get transferred to my company’s office in Japan, but I’m worried there could be immigration issues.
When I left back then, I got my passport stamped and resident card punched and made invalid at the airport, but I forgot to send pictures of my passport with the stamp to my school. I just went through some old documents and realized this was something I should have done back then. Does anyone know if this could this cause problems when I apply for a work visa now?
(I know I’m an idiot for forgetting about that, I was in a bad place mentally back then which is probably what caused me to forget…)

**Forgot to send pictures of passport to school after leaving Japan, can this cause issues when applying for a work visa?**
