Hello friends,
As the title suggests, is it possible to marry someone and get a spousal visa whilst on a working holiday in Japan?
I know it's cutting a lot of corners, but it's the only way I could think of to stay in Japan permanently. I don't have a college degree, or work in any specialized niche industry. I have an online business that supports me, that's really the only thing that comes to mind which makes me special.
Does anyone know how the spousal visa works? Do you get it automatically changed from a working holiday to spousal or is there a waiting period? Would I need to go back to my host country for some time before it is official? How complicated is this process?
I know it may seem foolish to get married purely for the sake of residency, but I have met someone in my home country and I will meet her again in Japan. We were in a committed relationship before hand and have thought about what the next step looks like for some time. I want to immerse myself in the culture first to make sure it's a fit, because I love her!
Any help is appreciated,
