Hi so i finally got my my Spouse Visa (single entry, 1 year) and my flight's on monday already! A bit panicky if I'm missing anything as it'll be my first time entering with the spouse visa ;–; i don't wanna make any mistakes or forget anything in case they wont allow my entry etc since this visa is a single entry (sorry just overall super nervous!!)
Wanted to clarify the following:
1. I'm bringing my actual copy of the COE, and I'm supposed to present this at immigration right? Do they take it, or do i get it back?
2. Which lane at immigration am i supposed to line up at this time.. (I've been the visitor (?) side all the time before)
3. I've seen some posts wherein they were given their residence card at immigration, is this still the case nowadays? Then if i do get it, i still have to go to our city hall to update the address etc right?
4. I'm also 13wks pregnant, is this relevant to mention at immigration if ever? Or idk tbh
But yeah essentially i just need: passport, visa, COE, fill up the visit japan website?
Sorry and thank you to those who will help clarify ;-; if there's any advice you have for me, I'll gladly take it

1. They’ll keep it and convert to your residence card. The CoE is just the paper to let them know you are cleared to be a resident.
2. Can’t rememeber what line we used but it was a different experience since I moved during COVID and everyone had some sort of special status to enter the country.
3. Yes, you get residence card at immigration then you take it with you to city hall and update information.
4. Doesn’t matter
