I am going back home for 2 weeks for the first time in mid august. I am on a highly skilled professional visa. Apparently I need a re-entry permit to get back in but I am confused as most of the information online is talking about permanent residents, and says I need to go to immigration office specifically to apply for this. Is that right??
I believe I need a multiple reentry permit. In person at immigration. Yes or no?
Thank you all in advance for your insight !

Is there any reason you aren’t eligible for the automatic [special reentry permit](https://www.moj.go.jp/isa/applications/procedures/minashisainyukoku_00001.html) that they just give you when you fill out the embarkation card at the airport?
As u/dokool says, you just need to indicate your intention to return when departing and you will be automagically granted the special re-entry permit.
