But have a few questions. I lived
in Japan from 2003 - 2007 and I left the country without giving up my gaijin card. I said I was going to a wedding (actually I was finished with my contract and was done)and told customs I would be back so I didn't give it up. ( I wanted it as a momento) But I have heard that since I didn't surrender my gaijin card to immigration that getting back into japan will be a problem. Is this true?
Now I read about heavy handed immigration in Japan. Are they going to look back to my violation of not leaving my gaijin card with Japanese officials (becuase my intention was to return but I didn't) Any help. Thanks.
