I'm making this video kind of as a notice of what has been going on in my life and also a p s A.

Participle clauses

And a, uh, warning to everybody out there who is living in another country living in Japan, living off of visas.

Ah, and I went to one year of the mistakes that I've made and possible consequences of what could happen.

And I'll tell you a little story about what has happened to me because it's some dumb stuff that is entirely my fault.

Before we get started, I would like to say a huge, massive, enormous thank you two took your creative there.

The company that I work for and during this whole thing, they have bean unbelievably supportive and just help me through everything and really being there for me.

If you guys haven't checked out that channel, there's always a linking description down below.

And if you don't see enough of my face on this channel, I'm on the channel a lot.

So please go and check them out if you haven't yet, so I will begin this story We're talking about my visa history really quickly.

When I came to Japan three years ago, I was on the working holiday Visa and I knew that one.

You had to renew it every six months, so I was always on time, like a couple of months in advance, just ready to renew my visa diddle myself.

After that, I was on a student visa and I only did the student visa for six months and I never had to renew my visa or anything, so I didn't have to worry about that.

I'm now on a specialist of humanity's engineering visa.

How wonderful the company will take care of it.

That's what my wonderful brain decided to assume.

I thought that a working visa without asking anyone without even looking it up, I thought a working visa was like, Okay, you started for the one year working visa, and then the company at the end of the year will say, Ah ha, you've done very well.

They might renew your contract, but the visa is completely up to you.

It is legally completely up to the person to renew their own visa.

And, uh, everyone else who works with Take Your Creative has been in the country for a very long time and already knows exactly what to do.

So what, you're just going about their business?

Everybody's just living the life that was just living mine about a month ago.

I So my expiration date on my visa and it was two months out of date to expired two months before that point, which is a really not a good position to be in.

That's really you don't want to be that it's not not not good.

Um, so had a little freak out, and I was like, I don't know the severity of what this means.

Having a visa that is two months expired.

So I e mailed my company and I asked my friends, my friend was immediately like, get a lawyer, do not go anywhere.

Do not go to immigration or anything without a lawyer.

Uh, I had people being like, you really need to fix that right now.

People started to be I started to realize how big of a situation it waas.

Okay, I messaged work people, and they're like, Oh, my gosh, How did this happen?

So they immediately sprang into action and really go to helping me.

Uh, but before we went to immigration, I did have to, like, look up the consequences of what could happen.

And it's a really serious thing if your visa is expired.

Um, if I was caught by the police, just like by a random Oh, just can you just show us your your resident's card?

Can you just proved that you you have a visa?

I've had that happen before in my local town.

I remember I was walking home once in the police stopped me and all.

If that had happened to me or I was an accident or anything like that, I could have been banned from the country for technically 5 to 10 years.

10 years of hardly be if I committed a pretty bad crime.

Five years is because I didn't declare it.

And I just got found out, which is in itself a crime, you know, staying on an expired visa.

If you are quarter you announce it yourself.

I was, like, almost crying, thinking Am I gonna get detained in immigration?

Am I gonna be able to come back and see my hamster?

Am I gonna have to have all my clothes packed by Arik and get him to meet me at the airport?

If they take me straight to the airport and I have to leave for a whole year, I'm gonna lose my job and lose everything.

My Parkman, It was like, really it was too big.

So before all of this happened, I've booked tickets to fly to Australia about two months ago.

I think, uh, this coming Wednesday, Arc and I supposed to fly to Australia for a nice holiday, and the plan was like just before the holiday was gonna work really hard with T C and really hot a man child to have, like, a backlog of videos.

And it was gonna be totally fine if I didn't find out about my visa being expired.

I would have gone to the airport, be like, right, ready to go on holiday.

And they would have been like, Oh, well, you know, love back in the country and you're banned for a year.

Uh, but, you know, those are the possibilities.

I went to immigration with a colleague, so over, like a big letter of apologizing and saying why it happened and that I was just really stupid.

And I didn't understand how system worked.

Feel that all these papers gave the men they sent us to the wrong desk, fielding more papers, sent us the wrong district, and it took about five five hours at immigration, so they end up giving me a temporary visa.

Temporary visa is three months long, but they started it from the date that my visa expired.

So there was no time where I was illegal.

According to my visa, which is super great.

So on the current temporary visa that I'm on, I'm not allowed to work or receive salary.

So while I'm on the temporary visa, a new visa is being made, Uh, just the same visas that I had before.

But we have to start from scratch rather than me just being able to renew it quite easily.

We have to apply for the same visa, like, completely a new.

Now, from this point, I'm 98% sure that I'll get the visa.

I mean, we had a lawyer check everything, and it should be arriving any day now, but I'm supposed to be flying to Australia on Wednesday, which I don't think is gonna happen anymore.

I'm leaving it to the last last minute before I cancel the flights.

Right now It is Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, since five days until we fly, including today, in the day we fly.

So the main issue for me now is I'm just waiting, just in case the visa comes.

They said at the fastest it would be three weeks, but three weeks exactly is the day before I leave.
