Foreigners over 16 years old living in Japan need to carry their residence card or passport when traveling to prove their identity. But what should you do if you lose your passport while traveling? Come and find out what to do with the editor!

First of all, we should go to the nearest police station to report the crime. Although the nearby police station (also known as "Jiaoban") can also handle the matter, going directly to the police station can save a lot of time. After arriving at the police station, those who have lost their passport will be asked to fill out a "Certification Application Form" and fill in the lost address, time of loss and personal information.

After taking the completed "Application for Certification", you need to go to the local Chinese Embassy or Consulate in Japan to apply for a new passport.

If the visa renewal date is approaching when applying for a new passport, we need to go to the Chinese Embassy or Consulate to issue a certificate of "failure to issue a new passport in time." Afterwards, you need to take the application materials to the local Immigration Bureau to apply for an extension.

In addition, if you lose your passport in Japan and cannot get a replacement in time, you need to go to the Chinese embassy or consulate to apply for a "return flight certificate" and then go through the return procedures. After returning to China, you can apply for a new passport so that you can go to Japan again.

Although it may seem a bit cumbersome, you still need to take notes!

Other things to note

In addition to the possible troubles caused by medical problems and lost passports, there are many small worries that may ruin our trip to Japan. Hurry up and follow the editor to see the most effective countermeasures!

Bad weather

If you encounter severe weather such as typhoon, heavy rain, heavy snow, etc., in order to protect your personal safety, try not to go out. But after finally making it to Japan, even if the weather is not good, you still can’t stop yourself from wanting to go out and “have fun”, so you need to plan in advance and have an emergency plan!

Bad weather conditions At this time, trains may be suspended or delayed. In this case, don’t panic. You can first go shopping in a nearby department store or underground street. If the place you are going to is too far from where you live, you should plan in advance other ways to get back to the hotel before going out!

Bad weather will also cause flight delays, which requires friends to confirm themselves at all times Whether the flight you are taking is delayed or grounded. If the grounding is confirmed, you need to confirm with the airline again whether other flights will be arranged, or prepare "PLAN

B" in advance.

If you are unable to arrive at the booked hotel in time due to weather reasons, generally the hotel will accept changes or cancellations of the reservation time.

If necessary, friends who come to Japan can also purchase "travel inconvenience insurance". If you need to pay extra expenses such as air tickets and accommodation due to weather conditions, you can apply for a claim from the insurance company. Some credit cards (such as Industrial and Commercial Bank of China/China Merchants Bank) can provide free travel inconvenience insurance.

Lost luggage

Lost luggage on the train or Shinkansen:

If you find that you have forgotten your luggage immediately after getting off the train, you can notify the station staff in time and ask them to Help get your belongings back. If you find that you have forgotten your luggage after getting off the train on the same day, you can go to a nearby station to ask. Generally, tram crews will collect people's lost items and wait for them to be claimed by their owners. If you discover your lost luggage after a few days, in addition to asking the station staff, you can also go directly to the physical center to ask.

Lost luggage in a taxi:

This requires you to remember to get the invoice when you get off the car to pay, which will have the car number, company and other information printed on it. Then take the invoice to the nearest "Jiaoban" (police station) to report the crime and help you find the lost items.

Lost luggage on a highway bus or airport shuttle:

Keep the printed ticket information, which has contact information and other company information printed on it. If you accidentally lose your bus ticket, you can call the ticket purchase center to confirm the bus company before making inquiries.

Shop rip-offs

Shop rip-offs are also banned repeatedly in Japan. They generally do not appear in large public places. What needs to be cautious is some izakayas. Their staff will go to stations and other places to solicit customers, and they specifically look for people who are unfamiliar with Japan.

In the face of this phenomenon, it is recommended that everyone try to buy goods or dine in stores with relatively large customer flow. If you really get on the "thief ship", you must carefully confirm the prices of all goods.

If you realize that you have been severely beaten, you can call the police department or police station before paying the bill. Although the police cannot handle it immediately, it can ensure your personal safety.
