If a foreign woman marries a japanese man, can she stay in Japan for more than 3 months? -

I ll have to move to Japan in the future, and I want to know if my italian girlfriend can live with me if she marries me. I m a japanese citizen but I was born in Italy.

Yes, but you will need to check with the Japanese consulate in Italy. It would be easier if you marry before moving to Japan so that she may be issued a spouse visa and enter and live in Japan without problems. I was able to get the visa based on my husband s Japanese citizenship.

As long as you have a family register in Japan and don t have any other citizenship it shouldn t be a problem. But you might want to get married before moving to Japan. You should check with the closest embassy.

She can live in Japan if she gets spouse visa. Marrying alone is not enough.
