I will be applying for PR this year via spousal route. But then shortly after applying I want to leave Japan to travel for 6-8 months. So just wondering if this is possible?
The thing I’m concerned about is requests for additional documentation. From what I read this is sent via snail mail right? Would a lawyer be able to respond on my behalf? Or sometimes they may call you, which would be difficult if I’m not in the country.
Also, once you get granted PR, is there a time period in which you must pick it up?
Anyone have any other advice? :/
P.S. the reason for the 8 month gap is due to quitting current job and starting new job. I’d rather not stay in Japan the whole time.
