“I want to bring my family to Japan and live together.” “I want to watch my child grow up close by.”
Do you have these wishes?
If you hold a work visa and meet the necessary conditions, you can bring your family to Japan from your home country.
✅ Why is a Dependent Visa Necessary?
A work visa, such as the “Engineer/Humanities/International Services” Visa, alone does not allow you to bring your family to Japan. However, by obtaining a Dependent Visa, you can live in Japan with your spouse and children.
The application process is straightforward, but proper preparation and avoiding document errors are crucial for smooth approval.
