Spouse Visa

If you have a Japanese spouse and want to live in Japan with your Japanese spouse, you need to have a Spouse visa.

The period of stay of this visa varies according to your resident situation. There are 5 year, 3 year, 1 year, and 6 month visas.

The visa you will receive after the first application is normally a one year visa, but you might get a longer period of visa after renewal.

The following procedure is for the case of a foreign spouse living overseas intending to get a spouse visa.

It has to be registered at the municipal office where the Japanese spouse has registered his/her permanent address.

- Register your marriage in the foreign spouse's country.
