Is it possible to return to my home country temporarily?

Yes, temporary returns to your home country are possible.
However, it is important to consult with your accepting company (employer) in advance and complete the necessary procedures.

[Paid Leave]
In Japan, you are granted paid leave (a system that allows you to take time off while still receiving your salary) after working for a certain period.
It is common to use this paid leave when returning to your home country temporarily.

However, during busy seasons or periods when staffing is tight, it may be difficult to take time off exactly as you wish.
If you plan to return home, be sure to discuss it as early as possible.

[Consulting with Your Company]
In Japan, it is important to consult with your company in advance when taking an extended leave of absence.
As a general guideline, it is common to discuss this at least one month in advance.

[Regarding Re-entry Permits]
To return to Japan after a temporary trip home, you must complete the “re-entry permit” procedure.
In most cases, you’ll complete the “special re-entry permit” procedure at the airport when you depart.

* If you leave the country without completing this procedure, you may not be able to return to Japan under your current status of residence.
Be sure to check with your company representative or Registered Support Organization before departing.
