If you're in an international relationship and planning to marry — or already married — a Japanese or Permanent resident, and/or possibly expecting a child, securing the correct residence status for your spouse (and your child) is essential.

To apply for a spouse visa in Japan, immigration will carefully review:

  • Your life together (living arrangements and relationship history)
  • Your combined and individual income
  • Your housing in Japan
  • Your past immigration status
  • How your relationship began and developed

Because these factors are so broad, you’ll need to prepare thoroughly and present clear, credible documentation.

Please start with a free consultation to tell us your current situation.
We will explain the steps required, assess your chances of approval, and present a tailored application support plan.
