签证、在留资格与在留期间：三个不同的概念

人们常把一切都叫作“签证”。在日本，签证、在留资格（在留資格）和在留期间是分开的，能从事什么活动由在留资格决定。

审阅于 2026-10-22

各自的含义

签证由日本驻外使领馆在国外签发，使您可以申请入境日本。在留资格规定您在日本可从事的活动，例如特定类型的工作、学习或家庭生活。在留期间则是该资格被授予的时长。

在留卡

在日本中长期居留的人会领到在留卡（在留カード），上面写明在留资格、在留期间以及是否可以工作。卡上信息变更时必须申报；哪些变更向何处申报，出入国在留管理厅有说明。

延期、变更与资格外活动

要在同一资格下继续停留，须在期间届满前申请延长在留期间。在留期间为6个月以上的，可从届满前3个月起申请。要从事属于其他资格的活动，需申请变更在留资格。所持资格不包括的有偿活动，须另行取得资格外活动许可（資格外活動許可）。

Holding a valid visa does not guarantee permission to land; it is only one of the conditions for the landing application, and an officer may still refuse entry, for example if the traveler cannot explain the planned activities properly.
Frequently Asked Questions（外務省 Visa, English） 4. Prior to Entering Japan, Q4 · 2026-10-22 核对
A single-entry visa becomes invalid the moment the holder applies for landing; the landing permission stamped by the immigration officer then becomes the legal basis for the stay, while multiple-entry visas stay valid until their own expiry date.

A removal order issued at landing is not a deportation, so it does not by itself trigger the five-year landing ban, although the person must prove next time that the conditions are met; a one-year ban can still apply where the order was for unlawful possession of drugs or firearms.
