Hi there,
I have a question that i believe you can help me.
I am US green card holder but indonesian nationality. I am going back to Indonesia soon but my flight will transit in Narita Tokyo for 21 hours…and i wish to be able to go out or stay in hotel instead of waiting for 21 hours inside the airport. My question is…do i need a visa for that since i will just stay there for 21 hours waiting for my next flight? Because if i can stay in the hotel then i will book the hotel soon before i leave from US….Since booking a hotel is 100% non refundable so i need to get this information correctly ….Please help me solve this problem as soon as you can since my flight just a couple days away
Thank You so much

Saito, you should try the Immigration Information Center (search this website for details).
sir,madame.
good morning i been over stay for 12 years and i surrender last june. i just wanna ask you people in japan why you so eager to catch over staying people which this people live in your country for almost a year living your country “otonashi ko” without doing any crimens . how come you cannot give a special visa for these people especially those who have a child . while i know a lot of people you given visa which having a nationality of immitation 2 sei 3 sei spcially those came from southern america or latin america.did you think that is your law is fair? i been living in ichihara city for 12 yrs. and im so wondering that this people haveng a visa for 3 years residents which a lot of people know that this people is not a real 2 sei or san sei . how come that you officer of immgration did not know that . are you immigration officer is blind? once you look at there face you can acknowlege if this is a real japanese blood or they are fake . i am sorry i just wanna voice out my sentemental i know we live in a free country and i know i am free to talk. thank you very much if you are interested w this topic i can tell who are this people.
to, ministry of justice immigration Dept:
as in Japan for thouse who have permanent residence their
alien registration card should be diffrent from other status of visa holder. as sometime inside & out side japan while law inforsement official don’t know why the alien card holder visa
priod of stay fill in star mark? so if residence permit holder
hold diffrent kind of alien card it will be easy for both side.
I hope ministry will take my comment seriously

hi..it is me again..son of paul torres alonsagay…
i haven’t heard any word from my father for months, and he never sent me any of his financial support for my needs, i am very desparate because right now i, again for the second time, had a leave of absence from my university.. due to lack of funds, i was not able to carry everything…my father never provided what i wanted besides the electric guitar he gave me and the badminton racket, he won’t even freely lend me his mountain bike.. knowing that my father is a very generous person to others, and a very good drinking buddy(johnny walker, j&b, smbpilsen, etc.), i wish i knew how to do as well so that i could enjoy the luxary of those… he is very much capable of sending me to the best university in the philippines, where the tuition is way lower than any other universities’(max tuition is 10 thousand pesos), and also could very much provide me and share to me his luxuries.. i am his legitimate son, yet, i felt like i’m the illegitimate one…he is being very irrational…he is being very selfish…this message didn’t mean to insult him or scandalize him in any way, surely when he reads this, he’ll be drinking again to his problems(which is of course very infantile), and get angry at me, he’ll call me with him shouting, that’s what he could do best instead of doing beneficial action..well papa, i hope you read this… you haven’t sent me any allowances for 4 months, i am very much drowned in debts, i did some part time, but it wasn’t just enough..and stop blaming your wife ma. elvie ureta-alonsagay, because this issue is just between you and me…how dare you… i have been keeping grudges and i don’t like it, i’m very upset, you even haven’t done something for me…because all you did was just for yourself…you still are very childish… because i know that i think more maturely than you do.. you don’t even know how to listen to me, your own son, because you would prefer to listen from your pathetic mistress…my step siblings even get to wear GAP and Donna Karan merchandise, and me? i wear som ukay ukay!!! you see people? MY DAD IS THE BEST IN THIS WRETCHED WORLD… if being mean, and being selfish were the outstanding values in this world, my father is the standard…i haven’t done but good to you, bringing your family name into streamers and newspapers, and a PHILIPPINE SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA, and as a UP Diliman Student!!!!
well, i think that’s enough…please let my father know of this, He is PAUL TORRES ALONSAGAY, he is a big man with a child’s ego…
you are so clever, and don`t just waste it..forget about your father..i also had the same situation..my father came hir in japan wen i was 8 yrs.old and forget about us..i did everything and with God’s help i was able to overcome all of it..i am a senmon gakou student now hir in japan and i am workin while studying..try to reaserach about entering japan as scholar and do your best..studying japanese is very challenging..use your intellegence..sayang po..if you want i can be ur friend or maybe i can assist u to come hir like wat i did..
