hi its me again icy nishigaito im already married to a japanese national.. im here in philippines now like i said before in my last comment here in this site.. i am asking if why the japanese embassy always asking for some additional documents for my visa.. i already passed my kosekitohon, kekon no tadoke someysho together with my certification of eligibility… but they always asking for certification of marriage.. to think that i already passed my kosekitohon which is the marriage certificate in japan.. and now they are asking for report of marriage.. is it true that report of marriage is just the english version of kosekitohon? like my husband told me.. i am kinda nervous because i still dont know if i can comeback again in japan… because of a lot of documents they want me to pass.. what do you think maam/sir ? do i have the chance to go back in japan when all my papers are complete? thankyou.. i will wait for your reply.. godbless…

Hi my partner and I are Australian but both 31 years of age. I speak japanese, as I studied for 7 years, would me or my partner be able to get work anywhere while we are there?
What time of Visa do we need to be allowed into the country for 90 days?
Thanks
Vanessa
@Vanessa, I believe Australian passport holders can just show up in Japan and be given a 90 day visa exemption. You’re not allowed to work at all with this. You are allowed to look for a job and apply for a work visa during this time. Generally you can’t just pop in as a tourist and legally do a bit of work while you’re there. Check with your local embassy before making any firm commitment though.

I am leaving my company at the end of May and I will be a part-time nanny for a Japanese family. They will pay me of course and also submit what they pay me to the government for obvious tax reasons. I currently have a professor visa through May 2011. Do I need to self-sponsor though because I won’t be working for a company anymore? Please provide some help for me.
I am always dreaming to visit and work in japan. I m represent for poor family. that’s why my educational background was interupted, I am from Nepal. Now i’m in 25 years old n want to seek job in japan.
