Hi friends,
I am living in Japan for nearly 7 years now.I am a filipina ,got married and was divorced from my Japanese husband.I was so lucky enough that Japan immigration did gave me a “3 year long term resident” visa even i was already divorced by my husband.There, i knew that being married to a japanese and stayed in Japan for more than 5 years has the chance to apply for a “long-term visa”
Now my problem is i have a diabetes,hypertension and heart-illment.Dangerous for me to be alone.And so my doctor gave me a medical certificate to be able for me to get my “16 year old son” from philippines.(my son is illegitimate since i was not married to his real father who is a filipino).
Luckily,Japan immigration gave my son a (1 year long term resident visa) but the big problem is this.My son brought that certidficate of illegibility to the Japan embassy in Manila last April 11.And so they given him a reciept-like which indicates the date when to comeback to get the result.And they scheduled my son to comeback by April 17.So when my son cameback,they said,”the verification is not yet finish.Just go home and we will call u soon as its done”. Its more than a month now.Yet still no result and no calls from them.
So i decided to call Japan embassy to ask.And still ,same answer.Verification is not yet finish.And i asked, “when it will be?” the staff said sometimes 3 to 6 months coz she said my sons birth certificate is “late registration”
Anybody here (esp filipinos) who has the idea,experience or knowledge about this please help me.thanks!
hi dean!
ur case is likely-same as mine.
Even ur Japanese spouse will divorce u and even u dont have a child .if u have a job with “genzen(employment tax)=this can get by ur employer from the city-hall. u can stay in Japan even divorced as long as u still have the valid visa.
Now u are a “spouse of a Japanese National”.But after ur divorce.U need to go to the the immigration for a “change status”
From “Spouse of a Japanese National” to “change Status” visa still remain but only the sticker will be change.And u must also need to go to ur city hall “for the record”after u acquire the sticker”change status” .
before ur “3 year visa “expires and if uve been here in japan for more than 5 years then u have the chance to apply for a “1 or 3 year long term resident visa. If u want to stay in Japan u need to be patient and carefully plan all of these or else u will go back to ur country as soon as ur visa expires.
This is what i did to hit the jackpot(lols):
from “Spouse of a japanese national” to “change status” to” long term resident “visa
There is no much documents needed in order to apply for a visa extension here in Japan immigration.I am telling u,according from my own experienced.If u need any further assistance and advice try to call immigration “information”.Goodluck!
For those waiting for their COE/visas to be issued, it usually takes 3-6 months. I don’t know why it’s very slow but maybe it’s due to the fact that there are a lot of illegal immigrants there from the Philippines (dancers/prostitutes/hostesses). The best you can do is to wait it out. If your purpose is to work there, just pray the company doesn’t fire you because they got tired of waiting for your COE. The latest ‘ve heard was 5 months and that person already has a master’s degree (you need at least a bachelor’s degree).
Iam married and have one chid in japan !But unfortunately my japanease wife got divorce and my child also belongs to her!Does My spouse visa !will remain or i can get another status……………..Does anybody knows about this case
hello
im a 24 years old girl from armenia. im english literature graduated and i really like japan. is there safe for a single girl with his mother?
how much money should i have?
Victor, see the above comment from Confused and Lonely Mom — you may be able to keep your visa.
Nelsaa, Japan is generally regarded as a pretty safe country. It’s not necessarily expensive compared with other similarly developed countries, but it can be hard to find a legal job. Have a look around this website for some ideas.

Hi, I have seen a NZer has to be under 30 to get a work visa for Japan. Now, I am 30. Does the visa requirement mean ’30 & under’ or ’29 & under’ ?
Thanks,
Clare
im a filipino citizen working in japan as talent.my japenese friend wants to be my sponsor and he own a small coffee shop.is that possible to give me visa?
Clare: The requirement means “30 or under”, so you’re OK until your 31st birthday. This is corroborated by the Japan Association for Working Holiday Makers, but please check with your embassy first, as rules change from time to time.
Remember that this applies only to the Working Holiday visa. There’s no age limit for a regular working visa. (But it’s harder to get.)
Greg, it may be possible to get a visa. There are requirements on the sponsor, e.g. your Japanese friend might need to give the immigration department some details of his company’s finances to prove that he can afford to pay your wages. Your friend should contact the immigration department to find out what the requirements are.
Thanks Bennett
I ve been in japan for 7 years under entertainer visa. Then I got new sponsor / preschool that tried to get me a visa and job but i got rejected under explanation that there was problem between departments. So as I was avised, I left the outry and they reapllied and it has been already 3 months and there is no any feed back from immigration. I was told that now my case is complicated after beeing rejected, but I just want to know how long will I have to wait to hear from them. Any answer is very helpful.
My nationality is Serbian
Hi,
I am migrating to Tokyo for work soon. My employer is sponsoring my and dependent’s visa.
Is there any category of visa for parents for long-term? I would like to invite my parent on a long-term visa.
Any input is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Rajib
Rajib, unfortunately there are no visas available for family members other than spouse and dependent children.
I have an entertainer visa valid for three months for Japan. I would like to know what is required to obtain an extension once that three months is over? Can I seek long term employment during the three months I am initially in Japan?
thanks

hkm31, the rules don’t say you can’t seek employment during your stay. In case you don’t succeed, it might be worthwhile simply applying to renew your entertainer visa.
Golam Mostafa, you should probably find out which universities in Japan run an MBA programme for foreign students. Then apply directly to them.
