Spanish Embassy in Japan
Seen some comments the post of " Invitation to the meeting with Zapatero "I decided to say something more about the Spanish Embassy.
When you want to come to Japan for more than 90 days, apart from doing all the paperwork for visas etc to come, once here, there is the possibility (not required) to register with the Spanish Embassy in Japan, since which we have all the documents arranged for living in Japan is not supposed to be registered at the embassy.
Some of the advantages of being registered at the embassy are such that you include in an evacuation plan in the event of any major earthquakes, so that if a large earthquake, "assumes" that in less than 24 hours after the earthquake call you by phone to ask if everything is correct and if not to answer the phone agents are present at the embassy in your home. They are also looking for more volunteers to make a kind of leaders of areas on the most important areas of cities, for these volunteers to the Spanish call to inquire about his condition and so is much faster than if you have to do alone the embassy.
It also fills a sheet that indicated that was the place where you voted in Spain when they had elections and give you the possibility that if you want to vote in elections in Spain, just go to the embassy to submit your vote and they will deliver it to Spain.
We also include in a list to find out about future events that may have interest in Japan for the Hispanic community.
Besides all this, at the embassy, and without being registered in it, you can also do translations or revisions documentes official translations, but the translations come out to about 60 € per page translated.
