Related words

出しゅつ入にゅう国こく在ざい留りゅう管かん理り庁ちょう
出入国在留管理庁 is the current official name (since 2019) of the agency that used to be called 入国管理局, so the two refer to essentially the same organization.

Don't confuse with

入にゅう国こく審しん査さ
入国審査 is the actual inspection procedure a traveler goes through at the border, while 入国管理局 is the government bureau that administers immigration matters more broadly.
税ぜい関かんN2
税関 is the customs office that checks goods and luggage, whereas 入国管理局 handles visas, residence status, and immigration control, so the two are easily confused as 'border agencies' but do different jobs.

Etymology

Compound of 入国 (entry into a country), 管理 (management, control), and 局 (bureau, office).
