Here’s an announcement from Rainbow Plaza, located on the 8th floor of the IMS Building in Tenjin.

To maintain a safe and comfortable life in Japan, it is necessary for foreign residents to have correct knowledge about residency status and term of stay regulations. At Rainbow Plaza, free consultation regarding immigration, residency and citizenship is offered for foreigners living in Fukuoka.

A gyousei-shoshi, or administrative lawyer, from the Fukuoka Gyosei-shoshi Lawyers Association who specializes in such matters will answer your questions and offer consultation about topics such as the Japanese immigration system and residency status. Do you have any concerns or anything you don't understand and would like to ask about? This is your chance!

Consultations are held every second Sunday of the month. This month, it is scheduled for November 9th from 1 to 4 PM. Please note you are required to register by 3:30 PM.

There are English and Chinese translators present, and so consultation in English, Chinese and Japanese does not require a reservation. For consultation in other languages, please contact Rainbow Plaza at least one week prior to your visit, as an interpreter might be arranged.

Also, please rest assured that your privacy is completely guaranteed. Ask any questions you may have, no matter how small you think your concern may be.

Rainbow Plaza is open from 10 AM to 8 PM.
