Relationship with the Tokyo Immigration Bureau

The Yokohama District Office is a district office under the Tokyo Immigration Bureau. The Tokyo Immigration Bureau oversees the Kanto (関東) region and some surrounding prefectures as a regional bureau, and the Yokohama District Office handles immigration and residence affairs specifically for 神奈川県(Kanagawa).

Residents of Kanagawa Prefecture should generally apply at the Yokohama District Office main office. However, Kanagawa residents can also apply at the Tokyo Immigration Bureau main office (Minato-ku, Konan), so if the Tokyo location is more convenient, you may visit the main bureau instead.

In particular, the Kawasaki (川崎) Branch can also be used by residents of 東京都(Tokyo) in 町田市(Machida), 狛江市(Komae), 多摩市(Tama), and 稲城市(Inagi). If you reside in these areas, the Kawasaki Branch may be closer than the Tokyo main office.
