Scope of spouse visa

This is Kishimoto.

 

The official name of the spouse visa is "Spouse, etc. of Japanese National".

 

"etc." refers to children other than the spouse.

 

However, this does not apply to stepchildren of a remarried partner.

 

This is because I have no blood ties to Japanese people.

In this case, you will be applying for "long-term resident" status.

 

The procedure can be very difficult, so please come visit us for consultation.
