Being an immigrant is, like, totally hard

Americans get tourist visas automatically by entering Japan.
Because these 90-day visas can be renewed an unlimited number of times, they can not be extended. Follow that? You can stay as long as you want, as long as you leave occasionally.It matters not where you go or for how long. (Surprising nobody runs a visa toe-touch ferry to nowhere.)

The processing of my application for a real visa became a game of chicken against the expiration of my 90 days.

Now I am at the airport on my way to historic Incheon, South Korea.
