【Renewing resident cards】
Resident cards are not valid after they expire. Even if you are a permanent resident, your resident card will expire in 7 years. The expiry date is shown at the bottom of your card. Nobody will send you any notification about the expiration date, so please be careful. If you got your resident card in 2012, you have to renew it in 2019. If you fail, you will be penalized. Go to the Immigration Bureau and apply for your resident card renewal. No fees are required. Acceptance of Filipino nurses and care workers candidates date
