Hi everyone,
I recently quit my job and will be starting a new one next week, which I would have to submit to immigration. I log into the online portal to refamiliarize myself with how this works again, but am presented with just 2 options and neither of them allow me to submit the notification for a change of workplace. (image in comments) Does anyone know what's going on?

I suppose that you can physically go instead?
Yes, of course I can go in person, but if the issue at hand can be solved i'd rather do that than travel all the way to Shinagawa or Tachikawa
What error are you getting? You can’t submit the notification for the new job until you start. I recently changed jobs, but had to wait until the start date to submit the new job notification. I submitted the leaving job notification a while back. In other words, I submitted two notifications.
There is no error message. I simply do not have the option that lets me submit the notification (see link in OP)
I did the same thing back in April. It's kind of stupid but you have to click on the second one and basically apply for permission to submit notification of change of workplace. Within a couple of days, if there's no issues, you'll receive an email with an approval and then you log back in and you will see the option to officially submit your notification of change of workplace.
What the hell, that's crazy but i'll give this a shot, then! Thanks!
Did you log in using an account from a while ago? I think I may have came across the same issue where the forms were not what recent guides were showing. I ended up using a newer account I forgot I created and it showed 3 options instead of your two.
I selected “所属機関・配偶者に関する届出” for mine. Which it seems your screen doesn’t have.
