If you get married overseas and return to Japan

This is Kishimoto.

 

A couple married and living overseas (if one of them is Japanese)

There was a consultation about how to request a visa to live in Japan.

 

The general rule is to get your status of residence certified at a Japanese embassy or consulate overseas, but it takes time, so we can't help you if you decide to go to Japan on short notice.

 

Japanese nationals can return to Japan first and apply for a Certificate of Eligibility.

The examination period is also short (because there is no interaction with overseas embassies),

It seems that many people use this method.

 

It seems that it is possible to change the status from short-term stay,

If you are unable to obtain a short-term stay visa in the first place,

The changes are also exceptional, so it cannot be said to be a panacea.

 

We will also respond to inquiries from overseas via email, so please contact us.
