Hi all,
My first post here. I already trawled back to posts from 2007 but couldn't find the answer to my question and I guess the regulations might have changed since then anyway.
Hopefully, my questions are pretty simple:
1) Can I live in Japan indefinitely on a spouse visa?
2) Can I work for a company my wife plans to set up if I am here on a spouse visa?
3) If our plans to set up a company don't work out, can I work for any company on a spouse visa?
A bit of background:
I'm a Brit married to my Japanese wife for over 10 years. We got married in Indonesia and have lived in Indonesia since then. We officially informed both the Japanese and British authorities about our marriage at the time.
I worked in Japan for several years about 15 years ago on a visa sponsored by my employers.
I hold a three-year Bachelors degree from a UK university.
Thanks in advance ...
Woozy.
