So of course things have been proceeding far too easily with the move to Japan, right, and fate decided I needed a nice kick in the ass. Apparently immigration needed a new photo of me because their original got marked. So they sent a request to Joytalk asking for it. Only it never arrived in Joytalk's mail. So Grant is simply going to wait a week until I'm in the country to send it and get the certificate all processed so I don't pass said certificate on the plane as it goes West and I go East.

This all means that I have to enter Japan as a tourist and show no intent to work. Which is going to be really easy, I'm sure, when I show up with my two biggest suitcases and a bed roll in tow ("What? Live here? No, no, I just wear a lot of clothes!" 8D). (No, I'm not actually bringing a bed roll.) It also means that I have to actually buy a return ticket for within 3 months of my arrival date, and then cancel it or something.

I love complications! Please, sir, may I have some more?

It's less the visa status and more the paying hundreds in fees for changing airline tickets - because I bought my ticket one way, now I have to add a return date, and then change it. I do not approve :
