The automatic extension is granted one time only upon the expiration of the stay duration of your current visa. There is nothing you need to do as far as filling out forms or gathering supporting documents. BUT, please make sure you make a trip to your local police station (派出所). Let them know that you have started the auto extension. They will then issue another temporary residence slip to you with the updated stay validity date. This slip is important in the event that you are unable to leave the country during your auto extension period, and need to apply for a stay permit at the Exit Entry Bureau.
