The official name of this status of residence, which is generally called a spouse visa or marriage visa, is "Japanese spouse, etc." This status of residence is granted in the following cases.

① Japanese spouse

"Spouse" refers to a person who is actually married and does not fall under the spouse if the other spouse disappears or is divorced. Of course, marriage is a requirement for a valid marriage, so it does not include wives or husbands of the common-law.

  In addition, the marriage relationship in this case does not involve the substance of marriage, which is to live together, cooperate with each other, and assist each other to live a communal life of a married couple according to social conventions, even if a legal marriage relationship is established. In some cases, the Immigration Bureau does not recognize the status of residence as a Japanese spouse. 

③ A case born as a Japanese

A special adoption is a family court referee (in principle, for a child under the age of 6) that separates the status of the child from the birth parent and establishes a relationship with the adoptive parent that is similar to that of a real child.

Therefore, in the case of the frequently asked question, "Can a foreigner obtain a visa if he / she adopts a Japanese person?", In most cases, he / she usually adopts an adult foreigner. In such cases, it is not directly related to obtaining a visa.

③ A case born as a Japanese

"A person born as a child" refers to a real child, but also includes a recognized illegitimate child as well as a illegitimate child. However, when the foreigner is born, when either the father or mother has Japanese nationality, or when the father died before the birth of the foreigner and the father died, the Japanese nationality Must have had. However, there is no particular problem if the father or mother leaves the Japanese nationality after the birth of the person.

Currently, 70 to 80% of Japanese spouse's spouse visa applications to the Immigration Bureau are said to be fake marriages, and the immigration bureau's examination is becoming very strict. (Especially for spouse visas when married to Chinese, Korean, Filipino and Russian women)

In many cases, you will be denied permission twice or three times if you apply for it yourself, so it is recommended that you consult with a specialist who has a track record of applying for a spouse visa as soon as possible.
