Hi everyone.
I've recently changed jobs from a more Eikaiwa setup into my first venture as an ALT and my company want to renew my working visa now despite it expiring in December of next year. I'm also now aware that visa lengths depend on your type of teaching job which I hadn't heard before somehow.
Anyway my question is...I've missed a few City Tax payments. I'm not being chased with court letters and dates, no red letter scary warning etc, just a few missed payments that I have been paying back and I've written them letters requesting to know how much to pay so as to make plans to pay back. It's not much really, but I have missed some, I've needed to divert money into unexpected things but I'm on top of everything now...life happens.
So, could this be enough to be refused a visa extension on its own? I'm sure my earnings would be approved as a factor, my qualifications and work history are good and nothing else has much changed since my application to come to Japan, only now since I've been here into my 4th year now, I'm looking at having to renew my visa with being a little behind in City Tax payments.
Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks.
