As I told you on gaijinpot.com, your "agent" doesn't know what he is talking about. Read the MOFA regulations.

Just in the case that you are the spouse of a working visa holder (or similar), which would be a dependent visa, and not the spouse of a Japanese/permanent resident (spouse visa), there is some truth to what the job agent says. On a dependent visa alone you would not be able to do a full time job.

That spouse visa is all you need. What sort of work is your agent setting you up with?

Then with a spouse visa you're good to go. Is your agent incompetent in other aspects of his job as well?

No, no, no, Mike. You don't ask that sort of thing. What you do is ask, how much does he charge for his incompetency?
