Can you bring your family to Japan if you have a work visa?
If you are working in Japan, you may want to bring their spouse and children, but is it possible?
The answer is, “Yes!” You can apply for a Dependent Visa (家族滞在ビザ).
If you hold a valid work visa (like Engineer, Humanities, Instructor, etc.), you can sponsor your spouse and children to live in Japan with you.
Important point :
It allows your family to stay as long as your work visa is valid.
Dependents can work part-time (up to 28 hours per week) if they get special permission.
Parents, siblings, or other relatives cannot be sponsored under this visa. (unfortunately😢)
🚨 Planning to bring your family?
Make sure to prepare financial proof, marriage/birth certificates, and other required documents!
