I know that if you are a US citizen, it is impossible to renew your Japanese passport in the US because you cannot present your green card, but
can you renew your Japanese passport while you are temporarily in Japan for a few weeks ？
I looked on the website, All I need to renew is the passport that is about to expire and an application form.
Since it takes 7 days from application to receipt, is it theoretically possible to renew my Japanese passport during my temporary stay
even after obtaining US citizenship?

However, it is a very serious offense to forge official documents and impersonate a Japanese person. However, please note that this is a very serious offense since it constitutes forgery of official documents and impersonation of a Japanese person.

＞ The website says all you need to renew is a passport that is about to expire and an application form.

The reason why you are so concerned about your Japanese passport is because you are aware of the forgery of official documents and you are committing a crime.

Lying does not make you a dual citizen. You can cheat your way to a passport, but you can't become a dual citizen. It only makes you a criminal.


＃ I envy those who have two passports because I lost my Japanese citizenship.

No one envies a criminal with a five-year prison sentence who has a passport he can't use.

If you currently have a resident card, you can get one, but if you remove it before coming to the U.S. and get a passport, they will ask you if you are eligible to reside in the U.S. again. I guess it depends on the city.
I had no problem because I had a green card.

I think ESTA has nothing to do with the topical content.

There is no interview when he goes to get his passport. You just have to go get it in person.

There are a lot of people here who write a lot of random things.

When you go to get your passport, there is a brief exchange of information, and if you have any questions, you are asked questions.
In my case, I gave up because I can't get back my address in Japan because I have to check my visa at Japanese office
I mean
can I apply ？ ＞ can I get documents if I write a lie
can I renew my passport in Japan ＞ You will never know unless you try
what it means to cheat the government
by the way, those who were deported after being caught lying on ESTA are no longer allowed to enter the US without a visa
you can find a lot of hits on youtube If you are caught lying on your Japanese passport 、、、、、 you may not be able to enter Japan with no visa
In other words, the punishment is more than just making a mistake.

I don't know why you care so much about people, whether they break the law or not. I think that people who care about the law, while pretending to have a sense of justice for breaking the law, want to take it for themselves after all.

I'd like to know how to get a US passport without citizenship. Please tell me.

Cheating a non-Japanese out of a Japanese passport is the same as cheating a non-US citizen out of a US passport. Since there are crooks who cheat Japanese passport without being Japanese, I guess they cheat American passport with lie and fabrication too.

There are many countries in Southeast Asia that do not require a visa with a Japanese passport. However, there are a few countries in Southeast Asia that require visas with an American passport, such as Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, etc.
Thailand does not require a visa with both a Japanese and American passport
If you use a Japanese passport to enter and leave Japan and an American passport to enter and leave the US, you will be able to pass through immigration with a face pass in most cases. If you use your US passport, you can pass through immigration with a face pass.

You can't get an American passport without citizenship.
It's a different dimension from the passport you originally had and maintained with Japanese citizenship. You can't be trusted because you keep saying random things.

These days, everything is recorded in the IC chip in the passport, so I think the IC chip history will tell us that the Topix just came from the US.
Maybe it is entered in the IC chip that you are a permanent resident holder. If so, you might be asked to bring your GC for renewal in Japan.
