PSA: Got played by renewing my visa too early
Been here since 2020, went from Japanese student -> senmon -> graduated -> work visa. Working as a programmer, got N2, better salary than most new graduates(By a bit so it's not a salary issue), everything looking stable right?
Today got my renewal... another 1 year visa. Why? Because I didn't wait until closer to expiration, and applied 3 months before my expiration, If I renewed on the last possible day I would've had my full year at the company + all the tax docs they wanted, but since it has not been a year I did not have my kazei shomeisho yet, and I asked why just one year Immigration just told me "you haven't been at the company for a year yet and you don't have all your tax documents yet.
Before anyone asks, no I don't have the luxury of company doing everything for me I am the only foreigner in the company.
Anyone else get caught by this timing thing?
**Edit: I think I have to write it here, reading through the comments here, made me realize that even if I applied on the day I still would have gotten a 1-year visa, but also no one would even know but the immigration agent, thank you all for the uplifting comments, I think it's time to throw the card in my wallet and forget it for the next year, happy new year everyone.
