Requirements and Screening Criteria for Family Stay Visa Application
In order to obtain a family visa, you must meet certain conditions and screening criteria. Below is an overview of the main conditions and screening criteria.
Guarantee of identity of foreign nationals residing in Japan
To apply for a family visa, the applicant must be the spouse or child of a foreigner residing in Japan. The premise is that the foreigner is legally residing in Japan.
Proof of economic foundation
In order for the applicant and his/her family to live a stable life in Japan, it is necessary to prove that they have a sufficient economic foundation. Specifically, income certificates and bank balance certificates are required. The guarantor will be examined to see if you have sufficient income and assets to support your family.
Securing housing
An important point in the examination is that the applicant and your family have secured a suitable residence in Japan. Proof of residence address and rental contract may be required.
Proof of family relationship
Official documents such as a marriage certificate and birth certificate are required to prove the family relationship between the applicant and the foreigner residing in Japan. If these documents are written in a foreign language, they must be translated into Japanese.
The examination of family visas is carried out based on a comprehensive judgment of these conditions. If the documents are incomplete or do not meet the conditions, the application may be rejected. Our office will provide support to clear these screening criteria and help you obtain a visa smoothly.
