Specialist knowledge
“Spouse visa” is a commonly used expression rather than the formal name of a status. For someone married to a Japanese national who wishes to live in Japan, it generally refers to “Spouse or Child of Japanese National”; for someone married to a permanent resident, it refers to “Spouse or Child of Permanent Resident.” Other situations include marriage to a Filipino national, residence after divorce, children’s visas, and Japanese nationality procedures for an acknowledged child. We also assist with obtaining family register records from overseas, naturalization and permanent residence.

Frequently asked questions
How can we complete international marriage procedures smoothly? International marriage can follow either procedures in Japan first or procedures in the foreign country first. With the Japan-first approach, the process can be led from Japan without the Japanese partner travelling abroad. With the foreign-country-first approach, the Japanese partner may also need to travel there. Our office therefore recommends considering the Japan-first approach to help the marriage procedures proceed smoothly.
Based in Yamaguchi, our office supports clients in Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Osaka, Tokyo and throughout Japan.
If you need help with international marriage or visa applications, please contact us wherever you live.
