6 questions travelers need to ask before visiting Japan this year

Oct 5, 2022 • 5 min read

Unrestricted international tourism is returning to Japan on October 11 © Getty Images

On October 11,  Japan will finally open its doors to independent travel following more than two years of some of the world’s toughest border restrictions. The country is also bringing back visa-free entry for visitors from more than 60 countries.

Does that mean it will be as easy to visit now as it was pre-pandemic? Sort of. There are still some pandemic-era rules in place, and you might find that locals are still taking many precautions against the virus compared to other nations. Yet at the same time, there’s much excitement on the ground about the return of international tourism, with Japan gearing up to welcome visitors back with exciting new attractions and events.

Eating on trains, embracing bidets and more tips for your Japan trip

1. Do I need to pack a mask?

Yes. Face masks have been a norm in Japan since before the pandemic. People often wear them year-round to protect their lungs from air pollution and to protect themselves and others from viruses, infections and allergens. While Japan has no official mask mandate in place, you’ll find that many businesses still require people to wear one indoors; you’ll also see people with a mask while on a bus, train or taxi, or in any sort of crowded indoor environment. They’re an everyday item for many, and it wouldn’t hurt to have one in your bag or pocket at all times. If you forget to pack one, it’s easy enough to find a surgical-style disposable face mask in airports and pharmacies all over Japan.

2. Have I checked which entry rules apply to me?

Japan has a color-coded classification entry scheme for all countries, which will continue even after travel rules ease on October 11. The system sets out distinct rules depending on what country you’re entering Japan from. Travelers coming from a “blue” country – a list that currently includes the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, Mexico, Thailand and many EU nations – no longer have to quarantine and have the option to show proof of vaccination or negative test results before traveling. Travelers from “yellow” and “red” countries are subject to additional entry requirements, such as testing upon arrival and quarantine. You can view the complete list of countries and categories  here .

3. Have I downloaded the MySOS app?

MySOS is a smartphone app (available for Android and iOS ) that’s used to record your vaccine and health information for entry into Japan. It should help you get through airport security checks more quickly by being a one-stop shop for all of your essential documents. If you’re traveling with kids, their relevant information can be stored in your MySOS app, too.

4. Do I need to apply for a visa?

Japan will reinstate visa-free travel on October 11 for travelers from more than 68 countries, including the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, Mexico, Argentina, Singapore, Thailand and more . If a passport holder a country on the visa-waiver list, you won’t need a visa to travel to Japan if you’re staying for less than 90 days.

5. Should I reserve restaurants and museums in advance?

Japan has some of the most sophisticated, creative and celebrated restaurants on the planet. And for many travelers, its cuisine is one of Japan's biggest draws. Getting a table at the top spots has always been a challenge in the capital  Tokyo  (whether it's  Kozue for seafood, Tamawarai for soba, or the two-star Michelin Den , you generally need to express your interest well before showing up), and in cities like  Kyoto  and Osaka  – but since the pandemic, most restaurants across the country require advance reservation, a rule that hasn’t gone away even as the government relaxes its response to the pandemic.

Museums also have new entry systems in place as well, and you’ll likely need to book your spot before showing up. Check the website of the museum you wish to visit ahead of your trip to secure your preferred date and time.

6. What new attractions can I add to my Japan itinerary?

Theme Parks

It feels like there’s always something exciting brewing in Japan. While the pandemic may have paused momentum, it’s now full speed ahead for the opening of some much-anticipated new attractions. After the world's first Super Nintendo World opened in Osaka during the pandemic, the next big thing is  Ghibli Park , a theme park based on the works of animation legend Hayao Miyazaki set to open in Aichi Prefecture on November 1. Unlike traditional theme parks, you won’t find rides here: instead, you’ll walk through the dreamy, watercolor-style landscapes and architecture from Ghibli movies like My Neighbor Totoro and Howl's Moving Castle .

Earlier this year, Ishikawa’s New Prefectural Library opened, featuring 300,000 open stacks of books (and the capacity for two million). It’s quickly become a magnet for anyone who loves books, crafts, art and history, and anyone with even a passing interest in cutting-edge architecture. The building’s exterior resembles the pages of a book being turned, while inside you’ll find craftworks by Ishikawa’s master artisans.

Trying the traditional crafts of Ishikawa prefecture

Now that borders are open you can visit a new UNESCO site in northern Japan, open since May 2021. The Jomon Prehistoric Sites  collectively form a Cultural Heritage Site, at which you’ll learn about the culture of the indigenous Jōmon people across 17 archaeological areas. 

Bullet Trains

Japan’s public transport system is among the best in the world, its jewel the high-tech, high-speed bullet-train network, which is continuously expanding. If you want to test a new route on your travels, the Nishi- Kyūshū line opened in September, taking passengers on a 41-mile journey between the famous hot spring town of Takeo Onsen in the northwest and the city of Nagasaki (gateway to the Gotō Islands) in just 23 minutes.

Japan's best food and drink experiences

If you’re in Tokyo, check out Okushibu,   the Japanese nickname for “Deep Shibuya.” This once well-kept secret within the shopping district of Shibuya  has now become a go-to zone for late-night cafe culture, as well as some really unique and creative restaurants. Okushibu runs parallel to the new rooftop Miyashita Park , and you can stay in the heart of the action when the new Trunk Hotel Yoyogi Park opens in 2023. Expect a rooftop infinity pool with views across the park – and the city.

Confirmed: independent tourists can visit Japan visa-free from October 11

Japan to reopen fully for tourism: visa-free entry and tourists no longer need to go through a travel agency

After more than two years of tight border restrictions, Japan will finally reopen to independent tourists on October 11. As reported by The Japan Times and Nikkei Asia , this full reopening means that tourists can visit the country without a visa and they no longer need to go through a travel agency. Plus, the daily entry cap will also be lifted entirely.

Japan's reopening for international tourism was a slow and cautious move. In June, the country began to accept tourists, provided that they visit the country as part of a guided package tour. Earlier this month, the restriction was further eased: tourists can travel to Japan without a guide but must still apply for a visa and book their flights and accommodation through a travel agency.

This full reopening, which takes effect on October 11, is a highly anticipated development for international tourists who have been waiting patiently to visit the country. And it comes at the right time, not just because of the weak yen, but also because of the coming autumn season, which traditionally has been a peak time for inbound travel.

Popular Tokyo Tour Guides

I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.                                                                                                                                  

My name is Grant I lived more than 10 years in Japan. I graduated University and translation school in Tokyo. I am fluent in Japanese. I have a degree in Asian studies and have expert-level knowledge of Japanese culture and history. I have memorized the JR rail system across all of Japan, I use the same train timetable calculators as the station staff, and I have experience using bullet train passes that are exclusive to foreign visitors. I can optimally navigate the Tokyo underground and maximize value from a Tokyo metro pass and also understand Tokyo above ground which will allow for seamless transitions between different metro stations and landmarks with minimal backtracking. My tour fee is 20,000yen for 1-6hours (135.28USD) 30,000yen for 7-9hours (202.93USD) 40,000yen for 9-12hours (270.57USD) I have half-day tours listed at 20,000 yen (135.28USD) at the moment but you can combine them or do a custom tour for roughly up to 9 hours for 30,000 yen (202.93USD). The time transiting to and from your hotel for pick up or drop off within Tokyo 23wards does not count towards an increase in the price.                                                                                                                                  

I live in Yokohama, Kanagawa prefecture. I have a license to teach in high schools and was admitted to the degree of Master of Arts in Teaching English as a Second Language in the University of Birmingham. Until 2015 I had been teaching English at public high schools in Kanagawa for 37 years. During that time, I had some experience of guiding students from overseas through sister-school relationship around Tokyo and Kanagawa. Therefore, I had good command of English with the TOEIC score of 935. As for a tour guide experience I earned the certificate of National Government Licensed Guide-Interpreter in English and since then I have guided tourists to the popular sites around Tokyo, Yokohama, Kamakura and Yokosuka. My guiding focuses on introducing not only Japanese historical and cultural backgrounds but also giving tourists some tips to travel Japan only by themselves, such as how to use trains and subways, find good restaurants, reserve tickets, buy survenier, and speak basic Japanese. In addition, my tour includes opportunities to experience Japanese culture like Zen meditation, ninja performance, visiting anime's location sites based on tourists' request. Besides, by means of my hobbies of writing English Haiku and Waka (traditional Japanese poems) and performing Rakugo (traditional Japanese funny story telling) in English, I can surely entertain tourists during the tour. My moto as a tour guide is let the tourists have a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Japan with my profound, intelligible and interestiog guiding.                                                                                                                                  

Hi I’m a friendly Australian living in Japan for 20 years. I love this country and still now love to travel and find more wonderful places to visit here. I also want new travelers to experience the country the way I do.

Can Indians Travel to Japan?

Yes, Indians can travel to Japan. There is no restriction on Indian citizens traveling to Japan as long as they have a valid passport and visa. Though the process of obtaining a visa may be more complicated than for other countries, it is still possible if certain requirements are met. For example, having enough funds to finance their trip and providing documentation that proves the purpose of their visit such as an invitation letter from a Japanese host or hotel reservation information. Furthermore, travelers must show proof that they will return home at the end of their stay in Japan by submitting documents like round-trip tickets or evidence of financial stability. Once all these conditions are fulfilled, Indian citizens can apply for either a single entry tourist visa or multiple entry business visas which allow them to stay up to 90 days in Japan depending on the type of visa issued by the embassy/consulate office in India.

The coronavirus pandemic has made travel difficult for everyone, including Indians looking to visit Japan. While some countries have opened up their borders and allowed international tourists, Japan is still not open for Indian travelers due to the current global health crisis. Japan’s government imposed restrictions on foreign visitors as a way of preventing the spread of COVID-19 within its own borders. This means that all non-essential visits from overseas are currently banned, which includes tourism trips from India. However, there is good news – Japanese authorities plan to reopen their country gradually over the summer months in stages starting with those living in certain countries and regions considered “low risk” by the government. India unfortunately isn’t one of these countries at this time so it’s unlikely that Indians will be able to visit Japan anytime soon unless they can demonstrate an essential purpose or obtain special permission from relevant authorities such as embassies and consulates. In addition to this, any Indian traveler who does manage to enter Japan must also comply with various regulations related to quarantine periods upon arrival and other safety measures while they’re there – like wearing masks indoors and avoiding large public gatherings etc.. Visitors should also bear in mind that once inside Japan they may face further entry restrictions depending on where exactly they intend traveling throughout its prefectures (regions).

When travelling to Japan, Indians should be aware of the quarantine regulations that apply to everyone entering the country. The Japanese government has imposed a mandatory 14-day quarantine upon arrival for all travelers from India in order to reduce the spread of COVID-19. This applies regardless of whether travelers have been tested or not and is in addition to any other measures taken by Japan’s immigration authorities. Upon entry into Japan, travelers are required to self-isolate for at least 14 days until they receive an official certificate confirming that they do not have COVID-19. During this period, travelers must remain at their designated lodging facility and refrain from leaving their rooms unless absolutely necessary. Travelers must also wear a mask when outside their room and maintain social distancing while interacting with others if necessary. Furthermore, during this time period no visitors will be allowed access into the room nor can anyone leave it without prior authorization from health officials or local police officers. In some cases, those who cannot isolate themselves due to medical reasons may be exempt from having to stay in isolation; however it is best advised that you contact your embassy in advance if you think you might qualify for such exemptions as each case is reviewed on an individual basis depending on several factors including age and pre existing conditions among other things.

Traveling to Japan is a dream come true for many Indian nationals, as it offers an amazing cultural experience and some of the most beautiful sights in the world. But before you can start planning this exciting journey, there are a few things you need to know about traveling from India to Japan. First, Indian nationals must apply for a visa in order to travel to Japan. The type of visa will depend on the purpose of your visit: if it’s for business or tourism then you’ll need either a short-term (up to 90 days) or long-term (over 90 days) visa; whereas if your trip is related with study or work then you should apply for an appropriate student/working visa instead. Once all requirements have been met, visas typically take between two and four weeks processing time – so make sure that you plan accordingly! Second, when applying for a Japanese Visa from India there are certain documents that must be submitted along with the application form such as valid passport with at least 6 months validity remaining after entry into Japan; recent passport size photographs; proof of sufficient funds; return flight ticket reservations etc. Depending on your nationality and purpose of visit other additional documents may also be required – so make sure that these criteria are met before submitting your application.

For those considering a trip to Japan, the question of whether Japan is currently granting tourist visas is understandably top of mind. The answer depends on several factors, including one’s nationality and where they are coming from. Currently, the Japanese government has loosened some restrictions for visitors from certain countries and regions in an effort to revive its economy by increasing tourism; however, it hasn’t yet opened borders without restriction or resumed visa-free travel as was previously allowed before the coronavirus pandemic began in 2020. The good news is that Japan has begun offering “short-term stay” visas for leisure travelers who meet specific criteria. These visas allow people to visit for up to 90 days for tourism purposes such as sightseeing or attending cultural events and festivals. They may also be used if you are visiting friends or family living in Japan (although this requires additional paperwork). To obtain a short-term stay visa, applicants must submit proof of sufficient funds and insurance coverage while traveling in Japan along with other documents such as a valid passport and flight confirmation details.

No, you cannot enter Japan right now due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The Japanese government has put travel restrictions in place that prevent most foreign nationals from entering the country until further notice. Since April 2020, the Japanese government has imposed an entry ban on people who have been in certain countries, including many European and American nations within 14 days prior to their planned arrival date in Japan. This is part of a measure to contain the spread of COVID-19 and protect public health and safety in Japan. Even if your nationality is not subject to this travel restriction, you may still be refused entry into Japan if you are found to have traveled through any of these restricted countries within 14 days prior to your arrival date in Japan. In addition, even those travelers who meet all other requirements must submit a written statement confirming they do not have symptoms associated with COVID-19 upon their arrival at Narita International Airport or Haneda Airport before being allowed entry into Japan. Furthermore, even after passing through immigration control at one of these airports there are additional quarantine rules for visitors entering or returning from abroad which require them to self isolate for 14 days after arriving in the country before traveling outside their own prefecture or interacting with others as much as possible during this period . These measures were taken by the government because around 70% of new infections reported since March 2020 were related directly or indirectly overseas arrivals .

As of November 2020, Japan is issuing visas to Indians for both business and leisure purposes. The Japanese government has recently opened its borders to international travelers from select countries including India, with a few restrictions in place. The visa application process for Indian citizens requires them to submit an online form along with their passport details and other documents such as bank statements, proof of address and any other relevant information needed by the embassy or consulate. Once the visa is approved and issued, it will be valid for up to three months at a time. In addition to this requirement, applicants must also show that they have enough funds available during their stay in Japan since tourists are not allowed to work there without special permission from the Japanese authorities. This means that all visitors must be able to demonstrate that they have enough money saved up before coming over so that they can support themselves while visiting Japan. Furthermore, people who hold a valid long-term visa from another country may be eligible to apply for a multiple entry short-term visa if they wish visit Japan more than once within 90 days of each other. However, this type of visa does require additional paperwork on top of the usual requirements mentioned above.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many countries around the world to close their borders. Japan is no exception, and it was one of the first countries to impose travel restrictions in an attempt to stem the spread of the virus. As a result, international travelers have been unable to visit Japan since March 2020. But when will Japan open its borders again? At this point, there is no definitive answer as to when Japanese borders will re-open. The government has not yet issued any official statement regarding an exact date or timeline for lifting its entry ban on foreigners. However, some experts believe that this could happen sometime later in 2021 depending on how effectively coronavirus cases are contained within Japan itself. It’s worth noting that even if restrictions are lifted at some point in 2021, travelers may still be required to undergo additional health screenings before being allowed into the country – such as submitting proof of a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours prior to departure from their home country or undergoing quarantine upon arrival in Japan for 14 days or longer. In addition, any decision regarding opening up will likely take into consideration global trends related to coronavirus containment efforts and vaccine rollouts across different nations before allowing unrestricted access again for foreign nationals.

The global pandemic has had a devastating effect on the tourism industry, with countries all over the world banning foreign travelers from entering their borders. Japan is one such country that has imposed travel restrictions to protect its citizens and prevent further spread of COVID-19. Japan initially closed its borders in April 2020, shortly after declaring an emergency state due to the coronavirus outbreak. Currently, only Japanese citizens and those with valid residence permits are allowed entry into Japan. All other foreigners are prohibited from entering the country until further notice. In recent months, however, there have been some signs that Japan may be slowly easing its travel ban for certain groups of people in specific circumstances. For example, foreign businesspeople who need to enter Japan for work can now apply for special permission if they meet specific criteria outlined by the government. Additionally, foreign students studying at Japanese universities have also been allowed to return under certain conditions since July 2020. At this time it is difficult to determine when exactly Japan will lift its travel ban completely and allow international tourists back in again – but a few factors suggest that it could happen sometime next year (2021). The first factor is that many other countries around Asia Pacific region are already beginning to open up their borders cautiously– suggesting that momentum towards reopening international travel could soon start picking up pace globally as well.

No matter how much you love to travel, it is important that you stay up-to-date on the latest restrictions and regulations for international travel. Especially with Japan being one of the world’s top tourist destinations, many people are curious as to what their 2022 travel restrictions will be. In response to the COVID pandemic, Japan has implemented a number of measures in order to prevent further spread of the virus. As such, they have put in place a few different categories of travelers who may enter into Japan and under which conditions: • Business travelers: Business travelers may be allowed entry if they can provide proof that their trip is related to business activities or conferences/events held within Japan and adhere to certain guidelines set by both countries involved. • Long-term residence holders: Long-term residence holders (those holding Residence Cards) are exempt from quarantine requirements but must still take PCR tests at immigration upon arrival in Japan. • Diplomats/ Officials: Diplomats or government officials traveling for official business purposes do not need special permission from Japanese authorities but must show proof that their visit is related directly to diplomatic or governmental duties before entering into Japan.

Are you an Indian looking to travel to Japan? Good news – yes, Indians can travel to Japan! The Japanese government has recently announced that citizens of India are now eligible for the “Japan-India Special Tourist Visa”. This visa will allow tourists from India to stay in Japan for up to 90 days. The process is easy and straightforward: first, you must submit your application at a designated Japanese embassy or consulate abroad with valid documents such as passport, flight itinerary and proof of accommodation. After receiving confirmation from the Japanese authorities, your visa will be issued within a few days. Once in Japan, visitors can explore the country’s fascinating culture and rich history. From ancient temples and shrines to modern skyscrapers, there is something for everyone here! Plus, if you’re looking for adventure activities like skiing or snowboarding – don’t worry; there are plenty of options available too! So what are you waiting for?

Dependent visa: how to bring your family to japan.

This article, I hope, will make that process clear.

How to Get a Dependent Visa to Bring Your Family to Japan

Of course, we all want to live together with our family. But when you first come to Japan, it can be hard to understand how to do that. If you have one of the Residence Status listed below, you will be able to apply for a Dependent Visa for your spouse and children.

First, let’s get clear on who you can bring to Japan on a dependent visa.

• Your (legally married) spouse
• Your (legal) children

Who Cannot be Your Dependent

You cannot apply for a Dependent Visa for a parent or other relative, regardless of whether or not they depend on you for income. You cannot apply for a Dependent Visa for a fiance. You cannot apply for a Dependent Visa for your spouse’s children from previous marriages if you have not legally adopted them as your own.

Statuses Eligible to Apply for Dependent Visas

Almost all international residents in Japan are eligible to bring their family to Japan as Dependents. As long as your Residence Status is in the list below, you’ll be able to apply.

• 教授　Professor
• 芸術　Artist
• 宗教　Religious Activities
• 報通 Journalist
• 高度専門職 Highly Skilled Professional
• 投資・経営 Investor/Business Manager
• 法律・会計業務 Legal/Accounting Services
• 医療 Medical Services
• 研究 Researcher
• 教育 Instructor
• 技術・人文知識・国際業務 Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services
• 企業内転勤 Intra-company Transferee
• 介護 Nursing Care
• 興行 Entertainer
• 技能 Skilled Labor
• 文化活動 Cultural Activities
• 留学 Student*

Additional Criteria for Student Residence Status Holders

If you are living in Japan on a Student status, then the type of school you are attending determines whether or not you can apply for a dependent visa for your family.

You’ll see that there are several options for Japanese language, so if you are in Japan studying Japanese, you may wonder which applies to you. The simple answer is to look at your institution. If the institution is a university or junior college (i.e. if it also grants associates degrees or higher in other fields), then you would be eligible to apply for a Dependent Visa. If you are studying Japanese at an advanced vocational school or at a dedicated Japanese language school, you would not be eligible to apply for a Dependent Visa.

Other Residence Statuses

Someone who is living in Japan as a Dependent cannot have their own Dependent. There are a few other statuses, such as Trainee and Designated Activities, that are not eligible to bring family members. Other statues, such as Spouse of Japanese National, Permanent Resident, Diplomat, etc., have other methods to bring their family members to Japan and will not need the Dependent Visa process.

Can I Bring my Family With Me to Japan at the Same Time?

It depends on your employer.

Certain types of companies in Japan have special authorization to accelerate their Certificate of Eligibility application process for foreign employees and simultaneously apply for Dependent Visas for their spouses. Those companies are able to get Certificates of Eligibility for both the employee and the dependents within about 2 weeks from application.

If you are coming to Japan as a student, researcher, or working for anything less than a large enterprise, then you will not be able to bring your dependents to Japan at the same time as you. After you arrive in Japan, you will have to apply for a Certificate of Eligibility for your dependents so they can join you Japan. That application process can take up to three months. Skip down to the instructions below.

What Companies Can Apply Simultaneously for Dependent Visas?

According to the Ministry of Justice , companies designated as Category 1 or Category 2 are eligible for the accelerated Certificate of Eligibility application process, provided that they are paying you enough to support your family members as well.

Category 1 and 2 companies must be “of a certain size” and make their present operating situation clear through public documentation. Specific examples include: Category 1

• Companies listed on the Japanese stock exchange
• Mutual insurance companies
• National or regional public organizations (公共団体 kokyo dantai )
• Independent administrative institutions (独立行政法人 dokuritsu gyosei hojin ), Special public corporations (特殊法人 tokushu hojin ), Specially-authorized corporations (特別認可法人 tokubetsu ninka hojin ), Public organization-authorized public service organizations (公益法人 koeki hojin )
• Tax-exempt public benefit corporations listed in Table 1 of the tax exempt corporations list.

Category 2: Individuals or organizations that paid over 15,000,000 yen in income tax during the previous fiscal year.

If you are to be employed in Japan and want to know if your company can apply simultaneously for your dependents’ certificates of eligibility, the best thing to do is ask them directly!

Applying for a Dependent Visa Yourself

If you have to bring your family to Japan yourself, you will need to start with applying for their Certificate of Eligibility. Approval can take up to three months, so get started as soon as you can after you arrive in Japan.

As usual with the Immigration Bureau, the information available in English is vague. The requirements below are translated from the Japanese webpage:

Dependent Certificate of Eligibility Required Documents

• Completed application form. You can download the form from the Immigration Bureau website .
• One ID-quality photo: 30mm wide by 40mm high, showing the applicant (your dependent) from the chest up, facing forward, with no hats or background. Write the applicant’s name on the back and attach it to the application form in the designated spot
• One self-addressed reply envelope with 392 yen in stamps attached.
• Family Register
• Certificate of acceptance of registration of marriage
• Marriage certificate
• Birth certificate
• Any other document that can be accepted as meeting the requirements of the previous items

Note: Any documents in a foreign language must have a Japanese translation attached.

• Copy of the supporter’s (you) Residence Card or passport. (Submit copy of the Residence Card if you have it!)
• If the supporter is engaged in business management or income-generating activities: (a) 1 copy of certificate of employment or business license (must show supporter’s occupation); and (b) Certificate of Residence Tax amount and payment showing one full year of tax payment. (Acquired from the City Hall where you resided as of Jan 1. *If you have not been in Japan long enough to acquire a Certificate of Residence Tax showing a full year of tax, consult with the Immigration Bureau. A certificate of employment with salary may be sufficient.
• If supporter is not employed or earning income through operating a business: (a) A bank account balance statement in the supporter’s name or scholarship award statement showing the amount of award and period of payment. (b) Documents equivalent in nature to (a) that show proof of sufficient finances for the applicant to be able to meet their expenses while in Japan.
• Proof of identity, in case of application by proxy.

It is acceptable to fill out the application form in English, but all documents submitted as evidence must be in Japanese or be accompanied by a translation.

Financial Resources for your Dependent

As a general rule, 80,000 yen per month is considered sufficient resources for one person. Since you will be living with your dependent, you don’t need to double that for each person, but count on adding at least 40,000 for a spouse and a little less than that for each child (depending on their age).

As an example, I know of MEXT scholars who were successful in bringing a spouse and two children to Japan with a total income of 145,000 yen.

The Dependent Residence Status does not allow your spouse or children to work in Japan , so you need to plan to support them from your income. Your spouse will be eligible to apply for a work permit (called “Permission to Engage in Activities Other than that Permitted Under the Status of Residence Previously Granted”), but they will be limited to working no more than 28 hours per week. This is not going to be enough for your spouse to support him/herself.

A dependent is able to search for a full time job and use that to apply to change to a working residence status. However, finding a full-time job in Japan is quite difficult without some level of fluency in the language.

All of that will come later, once your spouse is in Japan. But it’s a good idea to have a clear understanding of your financial situation in advance.

Applying for the Japanese Dependent Visa

Once you have your spouse and/or child’s Certificate of Eligibility, you will need to send it to them so they can apply for their visa in your home country.

I recommend making a photocopy first and sending the Certificate by a reliable courier service. Your spouse/child will need the original Certificate of Eligibility to apply for the visa. The photocopy can help you apply for reissuance of the Certificate if it gets lost in the mail.

Visa requirements vary by country, so be sure to check the website of the Japanese Embassy in your country !

Making Travel Arrangements

Once you have the Certificate of Eligibility, your spouse’s dependent visa is all but guaranteed, so it’s safe to start making his or her travel arrangements to Japan.

Your spouse/child must arrive in Japan within 3 months of the date of issue on the Certificate of Eligibility (regardless of whether the visa has a later expiration date or not).

Congratulations! Your family will be together in Japan soon!

As always, please leave any questions or comments below and I will reply as soon as possible.

Hello after I arrive Japan on an instructor or humanities visa . How long am I to wait before I apply for my husband and son COE. Can I apply immediately or am to wait for a specific period like 3-6 months ?

There is no mandatory waiting period. As soon as you register your residence and can acquire all of the necessary documentation, you can start the CoE application.

Good Luck! – Travis from TranSenz

Hi, I’m planning to go to Japan as a privately financed research student this October. My husband will sponsor my studies. After six months of research, I will apply for a master’s degree and a scholarship. Will I be able to bring my husband to Japan while I’m a research student?

Hi Sethmini Susara,

Have you found a university that accepts privately-financed research students? If you have, that’s fine, but I’m not familiar with many that do. There is a chart at the top of the article that explains what types of “Student” resident status holders can apply for a Dependent CoE to bring their spouse, so if you make sure that your status is in the approved side, then you should be able to apply. Of course, you will also have to meet the other requirements, like financial support.
