A re-entry Visa in Japan is a legal and binding document which is most likely similar to a person’s identity certificate. This is issued by the country’s Ministry of Justice. Descriptively, its primary characterization is a passport-like booklet with a brown-colored cover. It has the following printed inscriptions: RE-ENTRY PERMIT TO JAPAN, which can be quickly seen in front of this very essential travel-related paper. Purposely, ito ay ginagamit upang makabalik ang isang tao mula sa Pilipinas patungong Japan. Ito ay naglalaman ng 28 na pahina na kasama ang mga sumusunod: Personal Information, instruction and VISA pages.
Meanwhile, ang mga tinatawag na valid dates of re-entry in Japan ay depende sa stamps na makikita sa visa pages. Anu-ano ang nga ba ang mga pangunahing requisites for a visa re-entry in Japan mula sa Pilipinas?
