FAQ

Q. When I used to go to Japan as an talent , I entered the country under a name that was not my own. Should I tell the Immigration Bureau about it?
A. You should talk. Basically, unless you are caught there, there will be no legal penalty if you return home. It’s better to speak honestly than to make a story that doesn’t make sense when you meet in the Philippines. And apologize for the immigration.

Q. I had overstayed in the past and returned to Japan after appearing at the Immigration Bureau. What is the penalty?
