What, I need that many documents?They'll treat me as an overstayer?? What can I do? I don't have any time, I have work to do... I'm running out of time!
I've been in Japan for the past 17 years, and it looks like I won't be able to see this scenery for much longer... If I can't extend my period of stay, I might have to return to France...
(Telephone call from a friend)
What, there's a good immigration lawyer close to Hamamatsucho that I can consult!?
I'll call them right away!
From the station, walk toward the Tokyo Tower, right? The staff can guide you in fluent English. That's reassuring!
Walk past the large gate and it should be right here...
The sign is right there
I've left it to the kind lawyer and his staff, so everything's taken care of! While I'm here, I'll swing by Zojoji for a quick prayer!
(A few weeks later)
I got the extension for my period of stay.
I'm glad that I asked the professionals!
