Is this a regular thing for all customers, or have they singled me out for some reason? The only thing I can think of is that the zairyu card expires in 3 months from today, though I'll be kicking off the extension process next week anyway to get it out of the way as early as possible.

Anyway PSA if anyone else gets this: if you are blessed by a middle name, they want you to write it as "FirstMiddlename" in the "本命(英字名)" column, with no space in between.

Oh Gawd, I wish I'd noticed your message earlier. Just posted my application to SBI yesterday, with spaces between my names, so no doubt it will come straight back to me. If they require the names to be written in this bizarre way it should be made clear in the application literature.
