Spouse or Child of Japanese Nationals
 

Immigration Law Regulation

 

Spouse or specially adopted child of Japanese national or born as a child of Japanese national

 

Overview 

For foreigners who are married to a Japanese national, who were born as a child of a Japanese national, or who were adopted by a Japanese national, this status of residence is required for them to stay in Japan. There are no restrictions on employment, and they can work in the same manner as Japanese nationals.


The fact of marriage alone is not enough for unconditional recognition. Objective data on the circumstances leading up to the marriage and the facts of the relationship are also required. Permission will be granted after investigation.

For foreigners who already have a status of residence that allows them to work, there is no obligation to change their status of residence to "Spouse or Child of Japanese National" upon marriage to a Japanese national. However, it is easier to be approved for a permanent residence permit than for other work-related statuses.
