Dependent (Family Stay) Visa ("家族滞在ビザ" in Japanese) can be applied by an individual who is the spouse or child of (and financially dependent on) a foreign national residing in Japan under one of the following classifications: "Professor", "Artist", "Religious Activities", "Journalist", "Highly Skilled Professional", "Business Manager", "Legal / Accounting Services", "Medical Services", "Trainee", "Instructor", "Engineer / Specialist in Humanities / International Services", "Intra-Company Transferee", "Nursing Care", "Entertainer", "Skilled Labour", "Cultural Activities", or "Student".
"Applicant" refers to the foreign national who wishes to enter and reside in Japan. "Taxpayer" ("扶養者" in Japanese) refers to the foreign national who is supporting the applicant in Japan. At the time of applying the dependent visa, applicant needs to submit the documents to verify the identities of the applicant and taxpayer, and documents corroborating the income of the taxpayer can afford the daily expenses of the applicant.
As
the dependent visa holder is financially dependent on the taxpayer, the
applicant is prohibited to work in Japan. If the applicant wishes to work, he /
she must apply for the "Permission
to engage in an activity other than those permitted by the status of residence
previously granted" ("資格外活動許可"
in Japanese). Upon the acquisition of permission, the applicant will be allowed
to work for up to 28 hours a week. Here, Kaizen provides service of applying for
the "Permission to engage in an activity other than those permitted by the
status of residence previously granted" on behalf of the visa holder. For
details, please consult with our immigration and visa professionals.

visa. This quotation will summarize and list out the required materials,
